Long practiced in resource-constrained emerging markets, frugal innovation is now being adopted in developed economies by pioneers like Unilever and Aetna to serve the needs of cost-conscious and environmentally-aware consumers in the US and Europe. With an estimated trillion-dollar global market for frugal products, and with potentially huge cost savings to be gained, frugal innovation has begun to revolutionize business and to reshape management thinking worldwide.
