**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the growth and competitiveness of developing countries' economies, particularly in the manufacturing sector, and their increasing presence in the markets of developed economies. It also provides data on the apparent consumption and share of imports of manufactures in developed market economies. This suggests that the category related to International trade would be a good fit.
