For global businesses with a long-term vision, the question is no longer whether to expand to these emerging economies, but how to ensure smooth operations in the region.

With 16 years of expertise in providing logistics and freight forwarding solutions from, to, and within Asia, ASI Logistics stands as businesses' trusted partner in the region!



Behind the Rise of Emerging Economies


The rise of emerging economies in Asia is rooted in the dominance of giants such as China and India but also in the rise of smaller economies such as Indonesia, Bengladesh and the Philippines


By 2050, emerging Asian economies will become the world’s major players, first under the impulse of well-known giants: China and India, which are expected to account for $41.9 trillion and $22.2 trillion of the world’s GDP, respectively.

However, the real shift to happen by 2050 will be in the role played by the rise of smaller economies, driven by their young population, urbanization, consumer demand, and rising infrastructure. Indonesia, Bangladesh, and the Philippines are expected to benefit the most from this impulse. 

Another factor behind the forecasted prominence of emerging economies is the already booming intra-Asia trade, which accounts for more than 60% of the region’s exports. This interconnectedness is particularly significant for SMEs looking to tap into neighboring markets while benefitting from reduced barriers and lower costs. 

Moreover, Asia’s predominance in the global supply chain as a manufacturing hub is unlikely to fade, especially given the region’s interconnectedness. China and Vietnam, for example, have become essential choices for manufacturing and assembly, with supply chains that reach across the globe. Vietnam, in particular, emerged as a manufacturing powerhouse and dynamic market, making it a prime destination for FDI.



The Challenges of Emerging Economies


Underdeveloped infrastructure, regulatory complexities or inconsistencies, political uncertainties, lack of knowledge of the local practices, and the need for reliable local partners are among the most prominent for businesses and other actors of global commerce.


However, entering these emerging markets—whether to sell or manufacture—presents challenges, some of them inherent to their stage of development. 

Underdeveloped infrastructure, regulatory complexities or inconsistencies, political uncertainties, lack of knowledge of the local practices, and the need for reliable local partners are among the most prominent for businesses and other actors of global commerce.
