Market Overview

World’s Fastest-growing Internet Economy

Southeast Asia’s internet economy is now worth about $105 billion. The region added 40 million internet users in 2020, bringing the total to 400 million — and there is still plenty of room for growth.

According to research from Google, Temasek and Bain & Company, the internet economy of Southeast Asia is going through hyper-growth and is on pace to triple in size, reaching $300 billion by 2025. This makes Southeast Asia the fastest-growing global internet economy.

Booming Digital Services

COVID-19 produced massive digital adoption in Southeast Asia. 70% of the region is now online, with further growth expected in the coming years.

The Southeast Asia e-commerce market is currently booming, as the region’s platforms had a 31% increase in 1H21 compared to 1H20.

The region is also a global gaming hotspot. By 2023, the market could exceed $8.3 billion and have roughly 320 million gamers.

World’s Most-engaged Mobile Population

Mobility is quickly spreading throughout Southeast Asia, as mobile devices are becoming more affordable, connectivity is improving, and a wave of digital services are entering into the region.

Southeast Asia has one of the youngest populations among major world regions; 10 million Southeast Asians enter the “mobile age” every year. The region has the most engaged mobile population in the world, with users increasingly seeking apps for gaming, streaming music and video, transportation, food delivery, communication, and financial services.

Market Challenges

Despite the explosive economic growth that’s taking place in Southeast Asia, multinational companies often struggle to penetrate the region. Here are a few of the top challenges that companies face when expanding into Southeast Asia.

Last mile issues

Southeast Asia has limited last mile connectivity, making it difficult for companies to move data from backbone networks to end-users in strategic markets. As a result, end-users often have poor digital experiences.

Latency

Businesses typically use central servers located hundreds or thousands of miles away from end-users. This results in long-haul data transfers, which creates network latency and negatively impacts communications.

Managing multiple contracts with ISPs

Expanding into Southeast Asia means having to source and manage multiple ISP contracts, which can be very time consuming.

The Zenlayer Difference

Businesses use Zenlayer’s robust suite of edge cloud services to build fast, reliable, and secure connectivity over a private global backbone, which speeds up data transmission by avoiding public internet congestion.
