Navigating Retail Sector in Asia

Increasing Logistics and Supply Chain Costs in Asia

Over the past year, logistics costs in Asia have risen by approximately 20%, causing strain on retailers to manage expenses and remain profitable.
Businesses must seek collaborative solutions such as pooled shipments and localizing supply sources to mitigate these logistics expenses and enhance efficiency.

Regulatory Differences Across Asian Markets

Each Asian country has unique regulatory requirements in retail, creating challenges in standardization and compliance. This complexity raises operational costs.
Retail companies should invest in regulatory technology (regtech) and experienced compliance teams to efficiently navigate varied regulations and minimize disruptions.

Growing E-commerce Market with Expanding User Base

Asia’s retail e-commerce market is projected to reach $2 trillion by 2023, driven by a surge in internet users, reaching over 2.46 billion in the region.
Retailers must harness digital strategies, such as adopting robust online platforms and effective targeted marketing to capture and sustain the growing customer base.

Adoption of Advanced Retail Technologies

Smart retail technologies like AI-driven customer service and cashier-less stores are gaining traction, appealing to tech-savvy consumers in Asia.
Retailers should invest in these advanced technologies to enhance customer experience and operational efficiency, potentially increasing sales by 10% over the next period.
