When you think about the world, it’s easy to think that your country is all that matters. Unfortunately, this thinking is outdated, and we live in a world dependent on globalization. According to economists, a “global middle class” has formed by heavily relying on the interdependence of a world economy, cultures, and goods and services. As a result, some countries are finding significant benefits by emphasizing globalization more strongly. 

12. Italy

Italy’s tourism industry has undoubtedly lifted the country’s overall economy. Millions of visitors come every year to see the country’s luxury goods sector, which is also exported worldwide, and its automobile industry, home to brands like Fiat, Maserati, and Ferrari. 

11. South Korea

One of the biggest economies in Asia, South Korea has been a global leader for decades. Companies like Samsung and LG are headquartered in South Korea and lead the world in many areas, including household appliances, electronics, and a vast automobile industry, home to brands like Hyundai and Kia. 

10. Mexico

There is no question that Mexico has benefited from globalization, specifically around the USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada) agreement. Mexico has quietly become a major North American manufacturing and automobile market player.

Poland’s unique location in the European Union has made it a strategic location for logistics in the region. It has become a manufacturing hub for Europe, including an IT services sector that has continuously grown over the last few decades.
