Expanding into Asia can provide a number of benefits for enterprises. Not only does it provide access to the fastest growing and one of the largest markets in the world, including China, India, and Southeast Asia, it can also help an enterprise diversify its revenue streams and reduce its dependence on the US market. By expanding to Asia, an enterprise can tap into this vast market and potentially achieve significant growth as well as help the enterprise mitigate the risks associated with operating in a single market. Asia is home to many large companies and investors that may be interested in partnering with or investing in an enterprise.
Asia's fantastic growth story is due in part to the rapid economic growth of China, India, and other emerging markets in the region, as well as strong economic performance in Southeast Asia. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), in 2023, global growth is poised to decelerate while Asia's expansion accelerates to 4.6 percent. Asia’s domestic demand has so far remained strong despite monetary tightening. It is projected to contribute around 70 percent of global growth in 2023.
