GET A SHARE OF

- A large trade delegation from Brazil and Mexico are in China this week. Businessmen from latin America's two largest economies are clearly to get a share of the growing demand from China's burgeoning middle class.

- Does "get a share of the growing demand" have a figurative meaning in this situation? It means "Businessmen from Brazil and Mexico want to go to China to have customers due to the growing demand", right?

Thanks very much to Teachers,
