Economic and industry transformation and the emergence of new enterprises operating on new business models in the Asia ex-Japan region will accelerate in response to advances in digitalization and automation.
Many of such new businesses have sprouted in China, including internationally recognised companies such as Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu, Huawei and Xiaomi. A lot of investments are going into various sectors, including EVs and batteries, AI, and green & sustainable energy. China is pushing its ambitious plan to transition to all electric or hybrid cars by 2035. EV sales accounted for only 30% of new car sales in China in 2023, having grown from 10–11% in 2021.
Asia is the key outsourcing destination for technology manufacturing globally.
40% of the Fortune Global 500 are from Asia, and three of the top 10 companies are from China. Asia represents a multitude of diverse players including industry behemoths in the electronic and semi-conductor sector, such as Taiwan's TSMC and South Korea's Samsung Electronics. Half of the world's fastest growing global companies in a broad range of sectors — industrial, automotive, information technology, finance and supply chain logistics — are located in Asia.
Asia already makes up half of the world's middle class, accounting for 40% of global consumer spending.
That percentage will rise to above 50% by 2032 as a result of the expanding middle class and urbanisation. Urbanisation will add 1.2 billion people to urban areas by 2050, unleashing continuing demand for goods and services. With the world's largest population, more than 1 billion Asians are set to join the Middle Class by 2030, with three quarters expected to come from India and China itself. "Asia will account for 50% of global consumer spending by 2032."
