I'll take a different twist and say that different countries will
foster strong design niches based on (a) the strongest local
industries located there, and (b) the opportunities available for the
designers;
An example: Brazil has (instead of Desktop Interface design) very
strong web design since there are a huge chunk of population
"shares" communal desktop computers (schools, universities, work,
etc...), so there are more local business going on for web-based
applications.
I would imagine that countries like India and Japan would have lots
of room (I would guess) for designing mobile phone applications,
since mobile are overwhelmingly more popular than computers.
When it comes to opportunities, designers in countries like China and
Brazil have -- through outsourcing companies -- shots on working of
various specific niches, like Game Design, for example.
