Rebound of the Asian economy

Asia has re-emerged as the key growth engine of the global economy. Today, more than half of worldwide growth originates from this continent – and the trend is still rising. Anyone seeking to understand the dynamics of world markets cannot ignore Asia. In the chaotic environment caused in part by U.S. President Trump’s erratic trade policies, Asia’s economic resurgence failed to attract the attention it deserved. Yet this development goes far beyond China. India, South Korea, and the emerging economies of Southeast Asia are playing equally decisive roles. Japan, in contrast, we deliberately leave aside in this analysis.

While many product ideas are born in the U.S. or Europe, their execution and industrial realization take place in Asia. Whether smartphones, solar panels, or batteries, without Asia’s production capacity and its ability to scale innovations efficiently into mass markets, much of what we take for granted today would be unthinkable. Countries like South Korea and Taiwan have long passed their role of manufacturing hubs. They are now centres of advanced expertise, setting global standards with their own research priorities.

Asia also plays a strategic role in commodities. China dominates the processing of rare earths, which are essential for batteries, wind turbines, and electronics. At the same time, macroeconomic factors provide tailwinds: a weaker U.S. dollar makes it easier for Asian exporters to access global markets. Conversely, Western economies benefit from lower import costs, which in turn exert downward pressure on inflation.

In parallel, Asia is evolving into a hub for digital innovation. While Europe is still debating regulatory frameworks, countries such as China, South Korea, and India are already launching market-ready solutions. The most recent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence – think of DeepSeek – illustrate that Asia is no longer just a production base but increasingly a pace-setter for new technologies. With super-apps, semiconductor innovation, and robotics, the region is carving out its own path far beyond imitation.
