Emergent nations refer to countries that are experiencing significant economic growth and development, and are therefore gaining more influence and prominence on the global stage. There are several synonyms that can be used to refer to these nations, including developing nations, rising economies, newly industrialized countries, and emerging markets. These terms reflect the idea that these nations are in the process of transitioning from traditional, agrarian or resource-based economies to more modern, manufacturing and service-based economies. They are characterized by vibrant consumer markets, increasing urbanization, and rising middle classes. As these countries continue to evolve, their impact on the world economy and political landscape is likely to grow even stronger.
