SINGAPORE, Sept. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Offering a deep dive into the evolving Southeast Asian ecommerce landscape, leading global MarTech and customer engagement company, Netcore Cloud has released its comprehensive report, “Ecommerce Mindscape SEA 2024.” Featuring insights from key industry players such as Puma, Senheng, Zalora, Kanmo, Vietjet Air, Photobook, and Pomelo, the report provides a roadmap for businesses to thrive in this rapidly growing market, projected to reach $180 billion by 2025.

- Consumers in SEA demand personalized shopping journeys powered by Gen AI, focusing on swift product discovery, relevant recommendations, and minimal marketing intrusions,
- 70% of CEOs plan to increase investments in Gen AI to boost personalization, predictive analytics, and customer journey optimization,
- 93% of consumers find online shopping too complicated with excessive steps.
Saket Kumar Jha, Chief Revenue Officer – Emerging Markets at Netcore Cloud, commented on the report’s findings: “As the Southeast Asian ecommerce market grows, personalization and innovation remain critical for brands aiming to differentiate themselves. Gen AI is at the forefront of this transformation, empowering brands to create more immersive, tailored consumer experiences. This report outlines essential strategies for marketers to stay competitive and capture the opportunities presented by this dynamic market.”
The report emphasizes that retention and repeat purchases are key to sustained profitability, particularly as customer acquisition costs (CACs) rise across the region.
