mercado de oportunidad The first thing that comes to my mind, re: the term above,'' mercado de oportunidad '' is: Where opportunities exist for markets''. What type of opportunities and markets though? New, existing or in the future? It is an ambiguous area. second-hand goods equip. couldn't be excluded!?

Gracias, yo también me había decantado por esta posibilidad, pero no encontraba ninguna referencia en la que se utilizara.

agree Maria Luz Ochoa de Olza Velasco : "niche" sería un mercado especializado; "oportunidad" se refiere a que la pintan calva

"la pinta calva" a la fortuna. Hacía tiempo que no oía la frase. Jajá. Gracias. :-)

emerging markets

Another option jjavier, and as it's in common usage this is maybe a safer bet for your client.

Neither of the links Alejandro posted worked for me, and the Wal-Mart article refers to 'opportunity market' in a quite specific way. '"We call them opportunity markets because they are markets where we have a 3.9% share as opposed to our average of 8.9%," he explained.'

I've not been able to find much else on this new 'PC' phrase.

Cheers

Thanks for your translation, Nick. But, in Spanish it is not exactly the same thing "mercados emergentes" (emerging markets" that "mercados de oportunidad". I think that the first ones refer to countries that are emerging, as a whole, as a country, while the second ones refer to markets that, in a particular field, can be mature to grow in a specific field.

markets with potential

I. e. markets with (good) potential for exploitation.
Not sure if it's wholly synonymous with "emerging" (i. e. new) markets...
