If you’re looking to expand in the region, give your business the best support possible with our ASEAN network

ASEAN is a destination of choice for many international corporates, including those from China, Europe, the United Kingdom and United States.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations forms one of the fastest growing economic powerhouses and as a single entity is one of the top 5 economies in the world, behind the US, EU, China and Japan. ASEAN’s 10 countries equate to a total of 642 million people, accounting for over 8% of the world’s population. ASEAN’s GDP of US$2.76tn is growing at a rate of 4.7%, this is significantly higher than any other region and translates to a per capita metric of US$4,308. It is projected to become the world’s 4th largest economy by 2030.
