This new mass market demands products and services adapted to the needs of the local population – so called &quot;frugal innovations&quot;. Engineers often face similar challenges while developing products and services for these markets, and therefore may develop similar solutions. By the abstraction of these solutions to transferrable solution patterns, the efficiency of the development process could be increased. In this article, we introduce a systematic approach to develop a pattern system for frugal innovations. Based on 29 selected frugal innovations, we derived the problems that led to the development of the analyzed frugal innovations. By categorizing these problems, we deduced six problem categories: education, environment, culture, infrastructure, regulation, and finance. We stripped down the solutions to these problems to their core principles, and in our subsequent analysis, we identified 56 solution patterns. Moreover, we analyzed the relationships between the abstracted solution patterns, problem areas, and frugal innovations. By using a pattern-based approach, the efficiency of the product development process could be improved significantly. As well, patterns may generate new impetus and increase creativity.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">University of Paderborn
Anne-Christin Lehner (Dipl.-Wirt.-Ing.) is a Research Associate at the Strategic Product Planning and Systems Engineering Workgroup at the Heinz Nixdorf Institute in Paderborn, Germany. She studied industrial engineering with a major in Electrical Engineering at the University of Paderborn and at the Telfer School of Management at the University of Ottawa in Canada. Her major research areas are strategic planning and innovation management. Some of her project topics were the development of business models for telemedical assistant systems and the development and implementation of segment strategies for a huge manufacturing company. She is currently writing her dissertation about the pattern-based development of frugal innovations.</style></custom1><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">University of Paderborn
