Overseas exposure. The growth in this company is primarily coming from their overseas exposure. Brazil, Russia, India, Chian, Indonesia and Turkey are some of their top growing markets. Those countries grew at twice the rate of their other Developing and emerging markets. China grew more than 35% during the year, spurred on by growth in diapers. Huggies are available in the 40 largest cities in China, but disposable diapers still have less than 10% penetration.
