Conducted online in May, the report polled nearly 17,000 digital consumers across six markets in the region: Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam, of which the respondents had made online purchases in at least two product categories in the past three months.
From 2018 to 2020, the number of digital consumers in the region increased by around 60 million, a compounded annual growth rate of 12%. Almost 70% of the 443 million people in six markets are now digital consumers.
