Business Trends in the Year of the Tiger

At Asialink Business, we equip Australian businesses with the knowledge, skills and abilities to succeed in Asia.  

As we welcome the Year of the Tiger, we're sharing our views on the key trends that will impact Australian businesses looking to take advantage of opportunities in Asia.  

Asia continues to be the fastest-growing region in the world. The complexity, diversity and speed of change across the region present a dynamic set of challenges for business. While geopolitical risks and COVID-19 have hampered expansion in recent years, Asia still provides the greatest opportunity for businesses looking to grow outside of Australia. 

In compiling these trends, we’ve drawn on the experience and insights of our esteemed Advisory Council to highlight seven areas that will shape the regional outlook for business in the coming year. They have added their voices to these trends to provide additional perspectives for Australian business executives looking to stay ahead of the game. 

Let us know your thoughts. Tell us whether these trends resonate with you and what other factors you think are likely to affect your business endeavours in the year ahead.
