ASEAN SHOP 2025

Market Significance & Why Thailand?

ASEAN SHOP is strategically positioned to tap into one of the world's most dynamic economic regions. The ASEAN bloc, with a population of approximately 650 million, has become the world's third-largest population region, driving immense economic growth. This expansion is fueled by a growing middle class and rising consumer purchasing power, leading to a rapid boom in the retail sector.

Thailand, as the second-largest economy in ASEAN, serves as the perfect host. It boasts a mature, sophisticated, and highly diversified retail landscape, encompassing everything from traditional markets to ultra-modern shopping centers, making it an ideal gateway to the entire Southeast Asian market.
