e-conomy SEA Summary

Core Content

This document outlines the potential growth of Southeast Asia's (SEA) internet economy, projecting it to reach $200 billion by 2025, driven by the expansion of first-hand eCommerce, online travel, and online media sectors. The analysis combines proprietary data from Google, Temasek research, expert interviews, and secondary data sources to validate the findings.

Main Viewpoints

• Rapid Growth: SEA is the world's fastest-growing internet region, with an internet user base expected to grow from 260 million in 2015 to around 480 million by 2020. The region's internet economy is projected to expand at a 14% 5-year CAGR.
• Key Sectors: The three major sectors contributing to the digital opportunity are first-hand eCommerce, online travel, and online media. These are expected to account for the majority of the $200 billion internet economy.
• Investment Needs: To achieve this growth, $40–50 billion in investment is required over the next decade, assuming VC investment as a percentage of GDP reaches similar levels to India and SEA GDP grows at a 5.3% CAGR.

Investment and Startup Landscape

• VC Investment: SEA received $1.1 billion in VC investment in 2015, with 88% concentrated in Singapore and Indonesia. Investment levels are still lower than India and China.
• Startup Activity: There are ~7,000 startups in SEA, with ~80% in Indonesia, Singapore, and Vietnam. 4 unicorns exist in the region, all based in Singapore.
• Funding Trends: Most funding is concentrated in seed stage investments, with <7% of startups raising capital post-seed. The majority of investments are in eCommerce and logistics sectors.

Challenges to Overcome

• Talent Shortage: There is a lack of senior developers and CXO-level talent, leading startups to rely on expat talent from China and the US.
• Payment Ecosystem: 60–70% of citizens in Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam are unbanked, increasing the reliance on Cash on Delivery and posing a risk to online growth.
• Internet Infrastructure: Internet speeds and penetration are lower than the global average, with Indonesia and the Philippines having the slowest speeds. PPP initiatives are needed to improve infrastructure.
• Logistics Infrastructure: Weak last-mile delivery options and challenging topography, especially in archipelagos like Indonesia, hinder growth.
• Consumer Trust: High levels of fraud and cyber attacks in Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines lead to low consumer confidence in online transactions. A regional governing body is needed to address these issues.

Summary

The e-conomy SEA report highlights the immense potential for growth in Southeast Asia's internet economy, driven by a young population, increasing internet penetration, and the expansion of key digital sectors. Despite the opportunities, several challenges such as talent shortages, limited payment infrastructure, and weak logistics and consumer trust must be addressed to fully realize this potential. The report suggests that $40–50 billion in investment is needed over the next decade to make SEA a $200 billion internet market.
