Trends shaping Asia today
The continuing evolution of Asia’s economies presents opportunities for diversification and structural growth. Factors such as the rise of the middle class and lifestyle changes could play increasingly significant roles in Asia’s markets.
For illustrative purposes only based on current market conditions, subject to change from time to time. Not all investments are suitable for all investors. Provided to illustrate broad market trends, not to be construed as research or investment advice.
Diversification does not guarantee investment return and does not eliminate the risk of loss.
The digital wave
Rising demand for technological products and services, alongside the adoption of technology such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, autonomous cars and 5G, is benefitting market leaders in Asia.
Asia’s rising consumption
Generally, an increase in income could drive consumers to pursue higher quality lifestyles, unleashing demand for upgrades in consumption.
Path to decarbonisation
Carbon neutrality is gaining ground among companies across the region, presenting new investment opportunities.
Giants and champions
Although Asia’s multiple economies are in varying stages of development, the region is also home to some of the world’s leading companies in their sectors, particularly in consumer, internet and technology.
A diverse pool
Economies in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) have developed a vibrant yet diverse pool of businesses. The region is well-placed for many long-term structural positives such as favorable demographics, further supply chain diversification and increasing digital adoption.
