01

The AI Consumer Shift in SEA

Is your brand "AI-Searchable"?

Southeast Asia is no longer just "mobile-first"—it is AI-first. 70% of regional consumers now use Generative AI weekly, fundamentally changing how they find your brand.


The Strategy

To win in the ASEAN market, your brand must be visible in AI Overviews (AIO) and optimized for visual discovery.

3 Key Trends for Business Leaders:

dot-single

AI as a Filter: 45% of SEA users use AI to shortlist products, skipping traditional search results.

dot-single

Video Dominance: Video commerce now drives 25% of regional e-commerce GMV, powered by AI personalization.

dot-single

Search Everywhere: Consumers in Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia are moving toward visual and "Agentic" search (AI taking action).

02

Moving to "Agentic" Marketing in 2026

Are you marketing to humans or their AI Agents?

We are shifting from a world of "Search" to a world of "Agents." In 2026, you aren't just marketing to humans; you are marketing to the AI Agents that shop for them.


The Strategy

Audit your digital footprint for "Agentic Visibility." It’s no longer just about search page ranking #1; it’s about being the AI's top recommendation.

Executive Summary:

dot-single

The New Buyer: 24% of AI users in the region already use AI shopping assistants to delegate purchase decisions.

dot-single

Topical Authority: Search engines are evolving into "Agentic" platforms. If your data isn't clean and structured, AI agents won't "see" your brand.

dot-single

The Shift: Success in 2026 requires moving from efficiency (saving time) to integration (being part of the AI's decision-making loop).

03

The New Heartland of SEA AI

Is Malaysia the new "Data Capital" of Asia?

Malaysia has officially become the fastest-growing digital economy in Southeast Asia, surging 19% YoY to hit $39B. Why? Massive investment in AI infrastructure.


The Strategy

 If your SEA expansion plan doesn’t have Malaysia at its core, you are missing the region's most aggressive growth engine. 

Executive Summary:

dot-single

Infrastructure Boom: Malaysia's data center capacity grew from 120MW to 690MW in just one year—half of all planned regional capacity.

dot-single

Funding Magnet: The country captured 32% of all private AI funding in SEA, signaling high investor confidence.

dot-single

Business Opportunity: For regional brands, Malaysia is now the prime testing ground for AI-ready cloud services and localized AI marketing.

04

Clean Data—The Silent ROI Killer

AI doesn't fix bad marketing; it automates it.

AI is a multiplier, but it multiplies what you give it. In SEA’s fragmented market, first-party data is the only way to ensure your AI isn't hallucinating your growth.


The Strategy

Stop "experimenting" with AI tools and start investing in your data pipeline. Clean data is the only foundation for profitable AI.

Executive Summary:

dot-single

The ROI Gap: High-maturity brands using first-party data see a 1.5x lift in conversion value compared to those relying on third-party signals.

dot-single

The SEA Challenge: With diverse regulations across ASEAN, centralized and secure data pipelines (like GA4 + BigQuery) are no longer optional.

dot-single

Outcome-Based Measurement: 2026 is the year of "Performance AND Brand." You need data that measures the long-term value of a customer, not just the last click.

05

The "Video-to-Wallet" Revolution

Is your brand built for video commerce?

Video commerce is set to account for 25% of total e-commerce GMV in SEA by 2026. If your brand isn't leveraging AI to make videos "shoppable," you’re leaving 1 in 4 customers behind.


The Strategy

Transition your content from "Awareness" to "Action." Use AI to personalize video feeds so that every viewer sees the product most relevant to them.

Executive Summary:

dot-single

The 40% Rule: Over 40% of SEA shoppers now rely on video content to make purchase decisions.

dot-single

Closing the Loop: AI-powered "Demand Gen" tools now allow brands to embed direct purchase links into YouTube Shorts and livestreams.

dot-single

Success Story: Brands like L’Oreal Thailand are seeing 2x better cost-per-visit by moving from passive ads to AI-driven shoppable video.

06

The "Trust Gap" in SEA AI Adoption

Will your AI strategy build trust—and revenue?

While 75% of SEA users find AI helpful for discovery, 63% express concern over "fake" or misleading AI content. Success in the ASEAN market now depends on Trust Governance.


The Strategy

Don't just use AI; show your work. Implement "Responsible AI" frameworks to turn consumer skepticism into a competitive advantage.

Executive Summary:

dot-single

The Transparency Mandate: 92% of users are willing to share data with AI agents, but only if they understand how it's being used.

dot-single

Regulatory Guardrails: The newly launched ASEAN AI Safety Network (2026) is setting the standard for inclusive and safe AI adoption across the bloc.

dot-single

Expert Advantage: Businesses that cite sources clearly and provide adjustable AI settings see higher conversion rates from high-value users.
