Designer Materials Lab (by IM)Your Enabler for Emerging Markets

Myanmar has the advantage of a favourable geographical position, low wages and a large potential consumer market. Its recent political and economic reforms have inspired optimism among foreign investors. There are many companies from Japan, Korea and now China and South East Asia that have established a presence in Myanmar. Companies should act fast in order to create a strong base before more competition sets in.

Manufacturing and industrial development

Demand for building materials to support the development of the special economic zone.

Development of residential and commercial facilities in the surrounding township.

Ports and logistics development

Participate in the construction of warehousing and terminal facilities at ports through joint ventures with local partners.

Urban development

With over six million people living in the cities of Yangon and Mandalay, there are immediate opportunities for Singapore companies in the energy, raw materials, urban planning and development, utilities and engineering sectors to offer their expertise and contribute to the urbanization of the cities.

Hospitality

Surge in business and leisure visitors to Myanmar since 2011 led to a severe shortage in hotel rooms and serviced apartments.

Consumerism

According to the Mckinsey Global Institute, the consumer class in Myanmar could potentially rise from 2.5 million today to 19 million by 2030. This could triple consumer spending from US$35 billion (S$42.8 billion) to US$100 billion (S$122.1 billion).
