What set the region apart from other markets was the proliferation of new types of brick-and-mortar and e-commerce retailing formats and new brands experimenting with various innovations in order to win the local young, and increasingly tech-savvy, population. The rapid uptake of social media in Asia Pacific, thanks to consumer segments such as millennials and Generation Z, has been a major factor in the rise of social commerce. The Asia Pacific region offers businesses great growth opportunities and profitability, due to its large working-age population, a critical mass of highly-educated people, an expanding middle class and modernisation efforts, all of which are boosting consumer expenditure and increasing demand for online retailing and e-commerce. Demographic dividend and fast-paced digital connectivity are key differentiators allowing the region to surpass other countries by paving the way for more innovative accessible services, customised products and experiences as well as creating unique digital marketplaces in the region.
