Southeast Asian countries are located in the tropics and have a preference for sweet food, which is a precise demand market for milk tea and other new tea drinks. With the economic development in Southeast Asia and the improvement of the living standard of the residents, the consumption demand for milk tea has also gradually increased. Among them, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines have strong demand and growth in milk tea market. Indonesia has the largest milk tea market in Southeast Asia. In 2021, the revenue of Indonesia milk tea market will reach US$1.6 billion. Singapore has a developed economy and a high standard of living, with per capita milk tea consumption ranking first in Southeast Asia.
Southeast Asia in this report includes 10 countries: Singapore, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Brunei, Laos and Cambodia. With a total population of over 600 million by the end of 2021, Southeast Asia has an overall economic growth rate higher than the global average and is one of the key drivers of future global economic growth.
According to CRI's analysis, the economic levels of the 10 Southeast Asian countries vary greatly, with Singapore being the only developed country with a per capita GDP of about US$73,000 in 2021. While Myanmar and Cambodia will have a GDP per capita of less than US$2,000 in 2021. The population and minimum wage levels of each country also vary greatly. Brunei, which has the smallest population, will have a total population of less than 500,000 people in 2021, while Indonesia, which has the largest population, will have a population of about 275 million people in 2021. The most economically advanced countries in Southeast Asia do not have a set minimum wage, with the actual minimum wage exceeding US$400/month (for foreign maids), while the lowest minimum wage level in Myanmar is only about US$93/month.
Milk tea brands from other Asian countries and local brands in Southeast Asia have long dominated the market share of milk tea in Southeast Asia. Due to the low barriers to start-up in the milk tea industry, it is expected that competition in the Southeast Asian milk tea market will become increasingly fierce in the future.
CRI expects the milk tea industry in Southeast Asia to maintain growth from 2023-2032.
