Retail News Asia Completes Platform Migration, Launches New Features
In this article (6)
Retail News Asia, the leading platform for retail news and analysis across Asia with over 13.6 million readers, has completed a migration to a new platform over the past few days. The transition is now finished, and the editorial team is fully operating on the new infrastructure.
The migration caused some disruptions and irregularities for readers this week. Retail News Asia acknowledges this and sincerely apologizes. The team worked to keep the impact to a minimum and thanks readers for their patience during the transition.
New features on the platform
The migration is more than a technical operation — it also brings a number of new features:
The Retail Brief — a daily five-minute audio briefing covering the top headlines, deals, and consumer shifts across Asian retail, freshly published every morning.
RNA-10 Index — Retail News Asia’s own index, a basket of ten major listed Asian retailers. The index tracks how these companies move together on a daily basis, with five years of historical data and a detail page per constituent. It is an editorial experiment, not a tradeable instrument or investment advice.
Events — an overview of retail events across the region, with the option for readers and organizers to submit their own events.
Looking ahead
With the new platform, Retail News Asia is building a more stable foundation along with deeper data and tools for retail professionals in the region. The editorial team continues to deliver daily news, market analysis, and sector updates from eighteen Asian markets, from China and Japan to Singapore and Vietnam.
