The market of corporate advisory in Asia is in a state of active development, due to the ongoing changes in the economic activity, growth of foreign investments and development of the company’s governance. With the economies across the region gradually emerging and growing, businesses are in need of professional advice on M&A, restructuring, risk management, and strategic expansion especially in the growing markets of China, India and Southeast Asia. Some of the factors that have driven this market are the trends in the digitalization of industries, the growing need for corporate governance reforms and changes in the regulatory environment. Increased globalization of the supply chain has led to the increased complexity of the challenges which firms face in terms of financial, legal, and operational frameworks. In addition, there is increasing client demand for advisory services from private equity and venture capital investments in technology and fintech industries.
In addition, Asia is experiencing growth in cross border M&A as firms seek to establish operations in other countries. This is especially so in the areas that are experiencing high growth rates including healthcare, consumer goods, infrastructural and renewable energy industries. International and domestic corporate advisory firms are leveraging this to provide solutions that are most appropriate for the different market situations in various countries. Moreover, ESG is becoming a significant factor where investors and companies are paying more attention to sustainability. This has gone further to increase the demand of advisory services on regulatory compliance and sustainable management strategies.
