Majority of their disposable income is at US$10,000 to US$25,000.

BMI Research reported that Malaysian household spending will grow by an average of 10.8% by 2022, caused by rising levels of disposable income, urbanisation levels, and foreign investment.

Malaysia, with majority of households' disposable income of US$10,000 to US$25,000, is predicted to grow in consumer electronics and small-ticket category of toys, sports, gardens and pet spending.

Meanwhile, India comes next to Malaysia, and is expected to grow annually by 9.9% in the furniture and household textiles sector, with majority of households' disposable income of US$5,000 to US$10,000.

Further, Asia’s household good spending is forecasted to expand by 6.2% annually from 2018 to 2022, and will be worth US$935b by the end of the forecast period.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
