2024 Southeast Asia Consumer Oriented Inbound Mission
Anchorage, Alaska and Seattle, Washington
December 9-13, 2024
The 10 member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, which includes Thailand, Singapore, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Indonesia, is the world's 4th largest market, with a total population of almost 700 million and a combined GDP of over $3 trillion. Much of the region boasts young populations and significant urban growth. Middle class households in the region are forecast to expand to over 63 million by 2040, an increase of 25% from 2021, translating to strong growth in consumer and retail spending, including for a wide variety of food and beverage items. Southeast Asian consumers value products that are safe, high quality, new, innovative, with a focus on health and nutrition which aligns well with U.S. products. Additionally, the Western U.S. has strong logistical access to Asia through our Western ports.
For this activity, buyers from Southeast Asia will spend two full days in each state: Alaska and Washington. WUSATA participants will have one-on-one business meetings with visiting buyers to showcase and sample their products. Additional opportunities will be available for participants to host tours at their farms or processing facilities. This is a great opportunity to build connections in Southeast Asia!
This inbound event is being held in conjunction with a Canada Consumer Oriented Inbound Mission. WUSATA participants must register for each event separately. Register for the Canada inbound mission here: https://www.wusata.org/e/5UXOY1Z
Experienced exporters and new-to-market companies do not miss this chance to meet with not just one, but two international trade delegations!
