An overview of the expatriate market
You probably have heard this question before: “What is exactly is your target market”?
Of course, we hear this question a lot as well, and our answer has so far been straightforward: “Anybody living, working or studying abroad”. In other words, Just Landed is for expatriates and migrants that choose to live in another country, either for a limited time or for the rest of their life.
The next question is obviously how big this market is. According to UN statistics, 177 million people worldwide lived in a foreign country in 2005, and this number is likely to increase to more than 200 million in 2010. These include expatriates that are sent abroad by their company for a limited time, international students, long-term immigrants and pensioners that choose to move abroad for lifestyle reasons.
To shed a little more light on our target group, we have created a special expatriates section on our site which gives an overview of the worldwide expatriate market. Though the reasearch on expatriates is rather limited, our findings give a pretty good picture of the most important characteristics of expatriates, their problems and their needs . It also give an overview of the most popular expatriate destinations and an insight to worldwide expat salaries.
