Southeast Asia’s internet economy is on track to exceed $100 billion this year before tripling by 2025, becoming one of the world’s fastest-growing arenas for online commerce thanks to a youthful population increasingly comfortable with smartphones.
The value of online transactions in areas from internet retail to car-hailing should reach $300 billion by 2025, fueled by an existing population of 360 million online users, according to a research report by Google, Temasek Holdings Pte and Bain & Co. The region, home to ride-hailing Grab and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.’s e-commerce site Lazada, includes four countries -- Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia -- in the top 10 globally in terms of time spent by users online, the study showed.
The annual report, previously helmed by Google and Temasek, measures
gross merchandise value in e-commerce, ride-hailing, online media and
online travel and has become a prime reference for the region’s internet
industry. Bain joined as a lead partner this year and the study
encompassed digital financial services for the first time.
