      Despite ongoing tariff challenges and changing global headlines, retailers across Asia continue to chart a strong growth trajectory. Globalisation remains a key theme, with both physical and online expansion shaping the narrative in this region. Global brands are intensifying their focus on Asia, tailoring strategies to capture market-specific opportunities. At the same time, private labels are gaining significant traction, with consumers showing increasing preference for locally curated offerings.

      Interestingly, Gen Z is playing a pivotal role in this shift. Their influence on social media has amplified product visibility and brand perception, often determining what becomes a trend or a success story. Aligning with this new consumer behaviour and leveraging digital influence is becoming not just valuable but essential.
