Southeast Asia is one of the fastest-growing and most dynamic markets in the world. On the back of a bumper 2019 for the ASEAN private equity & venture capital industry, the global economic fallout from COVID-19 has had a significant impact on the market.
Nonetheless, industry assets under management stand at a record high, and the investor pool is increasingly diverse and globalized. Amid challenging circumstances, PEVC players in the region are expanding their resources to meet a growing need for capital and tap unique, emerging opportunities.
In this new environment, some developing sectors are attracting increasing attention. This report will take a deep dive into three of these industries:
- Healthcare. Demand for quality healthcare in Southeast Asia is rising exponentially. PEVC has a key role to play to bridge the infrastructure gap, professionalize healthcare services, and support the development of innovative healthtech solutions.
- Fintech. With its largely underbanked working population, the region presents a significant opportunity for fintech players. ‘Super app’ companies and traditional financial institutions are tapping on their digital channels to offer fintech solutions to their end-clients.
- Logistics & E-Commerce. As e-commerce spending rises fast, pressure is mounting to meet consumer demand. Tech-enabled logistics and e-commerce platforms are required to serve a growing affluent population.
