By reducing the number of units per package, Booster Bar has adapted its product based on the economic requirements of its South Asian market. The less economically developed a market is, the greater degree of change a product may need for acceptance. To make a purchase more affordable in low-income countries, the number of units per package may have to be reduced from the typical quantities offered in high-income countries.
