Background:

The markets of the Asia Pacific region represent a considerable opportunity for European and US retailers, (not to mention investors), looking to expand into new markets so as to maintain sales growth momentum and to develop their businesses.

Individually, the Asia Pacific markets offer varying degrees of risk and potential reward, the two often going hand in hand. However, together they represent potentially the largest regional retail market, in terms of population, in the World and one that is likely to exhibit the fastest growth over the next five to ten years.
