Business Opportunities and Trends in the ASEAN Marketplace

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN, is the 3rd largest economy in Asia and the world's 7th largest. Comprised of 10 member states: Indonesia; Malaysia; Philippines; Singapore; Thailand; Brunei; Vietnam; Laos; Myanmar; and Cambodia, they represent more than 1.7 million square miles—over half the size of the continental United States—and a population of 626 million with an economy valued at $2.4 trillion. The ASEAN marketplace offers many opportunities for Florida companies looking to export their products and services to that region.
