01

Geopolitics Risks create unnecessary Trade Barriers

The world is changing. In recent years, the drastic changes in the political landscape of European and American countries have made geopolitical risks an indispensable factor for businesses. Under the threat of tariffs and trade restrictions, many European and American buyers are reducing their visits to China for exhibitions and shifting their procurement to other parts of Asia due to these geopolitical factors.

02

War Impacts Fight Schedules

The Russia-Ukraine and Middle East conflicts not only bring huge loss of life and property, but they also create an uncertain environment for business. The fierce war generates hatred among multiple sides, while sanctions are imposed. Additionally, the war has caused a reduction in the number of flights from Europe and America to China, leading to a substantial increase in airfare prices.

03

Exploring Alternatives in Southeast Asia

In recent years, many buyers in Europe and the US have become aware that trade barriers and tariffs are unavoidable. As a result, they have begun to shift their focus to Southeast Asia in order to diversify their risks.

Thailand: A Key City for the Southeast Asia Exhibition

Bangkok is situated at the heart of ASEAN, with comprehensive exhibition facilities and infrastructure, making it a key city for the exhibition industry in Southeast Asia. It can also reach out to the other nine ASEAN countries, including Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, and Vietnam, as well as to buyers from the Middle East and Eastern Europe, thereby creating a complete buyer network.

Surging Demand in ASEAN and Neighboring Countries

ASEAN countries, including Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos, and Brunei, have witnessed significant urbanization, rapid economic growth, fast-rising consumption power, and ever-improving living standards.

According to recent data, the ASEAN region’s GDP growth is projected to increase from 4.7% in 2024 to 4.9% in 2025, driven by increasing domestic consumption, recovering goods exports, and a tourism rebound.
ASEAN’s flourishing GDP growth has led to strong purchasing power, resulting in a substantial increase in goods imports. According to the ASEAN Yearbook 2023, imports of goods in ASEAN have been growing year after year since 2020.

For instance, Thailand’s imports were valued at USD 207 billion in 2020, USD 269 billion in 2021, and USD 305 billion in 2022. On a broader scale, ASEAN’s total goods imports were USD 1.273 trillion in 2020, USD 1.627 trillion in 2021, and USD 1.884 trillion in 2022.
According to Statista, the revenue in the kitchenware market in Southeast Asia is estimated to reach USD 306.50 million in 2024, with a projected annual growth rate of 2.65% (CAGR 2024-2029).

In contrast, the kitchenware market in Europe is expected to generate revenue of USD 5.28 billion in 2024, with a projected annual growth rate of 1.69% from 2024 to 2029 (CAGR 2024-2029).
