Our mission
Asia's retail story, told daily.
RetailNews Asia covers the business of retail in Asia: who is opening, closing, buying, listing and losing money, and what that means for the people who have to make decisions about it on Monday morning.
We started in 2014 because the region's retail news was scattered across local press, filings and PR wires, mostly in languages head offices could not read. We report in English, from brick-and-mortar to e-commerce, food retail to fashion, family chains to listed majors.
Around 13.6 million visits a month come from operators, suppliers, investors and analysts. Most of them read us before a meeting, not instead of one.
The newsroom files more than 125 original articles a week: openings and closures, results and funding rounds, executive moves and the deals that never make the wires. Fourteen sectors, every major Asian market, seven days a week - so the Monday read is never thin.
Principles
What we stand for
Numbers before adjectives
Deals, results, store counts and market data - explained in a few hundred words rather than a few thousand.
One email a week
No spam, no list swapping. Sponsored posts carry a label and are written by the advertiser, not by our editors.
A note from the founder
"I wanted a paper I could read in ten minutes and still walk into a supplier meeting knowing what had happened that week in Asia. Nobody was making it, so we did."
