SUMMARY
Global Growth Markets
The Global Growth Markets Division was established in 2013 to build the long-term presence in new high growth markets, particularly in India, Brazil, and China, to accelerate the company’s transformation as a global, professional solutions provider.
Wolters Kluwer has been in India for more than a decade. What started as a print book distribution business has expanded into a diverse operation that is driving growth through multiple digital solutions while evolving the original print business into a comprehensive set of print and increasingly digital solutions for students, residents, faculty and practicing physicians. Some of the products sold in India are created by Wolters Kluwer global divisions and sold in India. Others are sold in India by a separate team outside of Global Growth Markets. These latter products still benefit from local support and collaboration and have the potential to move into the Global Growth Markets portfolio in the future.
