With Asian retail sales projected to reach more than $10 trillion by 2018 – twice the figures for North America – trends and developments will be discussed at a three-day Bangkok retail show in August.

Regional sales are projected to be the fastest worldwide over the next five years, and China is expected to overtake the US as the world’s biggest retail market, according to a PWC report.

At RetailEx ASEAN 2016, at Impact Exhibition & Convention Centre in Bangkok, Thailand, from August 25 to 27, the ASEAN Retail & Shopping Mall Summit will enable businesses, regional associations and stakeholders of the retail ecosystem to network and discuss trends.

Over two days of the expo, the conference includes expert speakers covering such topics as industry trends, business modelling, branding avenues, and retail architecture and design.

Features of the annual expo include the POS & Auto ID Congress, a VIP hosted buyer program and site tours. It is the largest in-store equipment and solutions expo in Southeast Asia, featuring more than 200 local and international exhibitors over 5000 sqm of exhibition space.
