The rise of digital industries in ASEAN: accelerating enterprise transformation through AI and mobile
This report is available to those subscribed to the IoT & Enterprise or Mobile Operators and Networks modules.
The digital transformation of vertical sectors is accelerating across the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). During June–August 2025, GSMA Intelligence surveyed more than 580 enterprises across 10 sectors in five ASEAN countries – Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam – to gain insight into their digital transformation.
The survey focused on various aspects of digital transformation (e.g. strategic objectives, investment plans and priorities, deployment challenges, supplier decisions) and a range of technologies enabling digital transformation, including 5G, private networks, AI, IoT, cloud, edge, cybersecurity, network APIs and 6G.
This report highlights the key findings and implications, including analysis of the areas where enterprises in ASEAN are leading when compared to the global average.
