Based on http://www.wolframalpha.com (checked March 29, 2019), hereby an extrapolation table demonstrating that the world is 5 to 15 times the EU. For markets that are based on demographics, a first approximation can be that the global long-term potential of a market is very roughly ’10 times EU’, or that EU represents 10% of the world market.
