Key Findings

Revamped digital living experience in metaverse and AR to reshape business models in services and channels

The metaverse came closer to customers in Asia Pacific, with use cases being actively explored and tested by banks and travel enterprises for example. Generative AI will play a critical role to improve visual quality. Digital living in Asia Pacific also manifests in applying online technologies to benefit offline living, such as Augmented Reality (AR) tools facilitating customers to choose products for fashion and home. 

Customer experience and business cost optimisation drive shopper reinvention

Enterprises in Asia Pacific prioritise customer-centred designs to drive engagement and cost optimisation by applying new technologies, such as unmanned stores

They have been doubling down research and development, embracing new ways of selling, such as AI avatars, destination stores, after-sales cross-promotion, etc.

Personalisation built upon customer understanding by analytics innovation

More than half of Asian respondents prefer personalisation. Without understanding customers, selling standard or irrelevant products will reduce trust.

Businesses have begun to leverage the power of analytics automation for customer profiling. Also, leaders provide self-service in apps for customers to understand themselves better such as skin conditions, building online communities.

Technological breakthrough drives acceleration in development of above megatrends

Coupled with advancement in analytics, cloud and API, rapid development in artificial intelligence (AI) made the implementation of innovation concepts in three key megatrends gain in momentum regionally.

Key developments include AI avatars, metaverse services such as banking, shopping for home products and fashion, and automation in personalised services.
