Southeast Asia's payments landscape is rapidly evolving, with non-digital payment methods declining to just 13% of ecommerce transactions in 2023, projected to drop to 6% by 2028. The region's ecommerce market, valued at $137 billion, is expected to grow to $325 billion, driven by cross-border commerce and new payment methods like digital wallets and buy now, pay later options. However, merchants face challenges in navigating cross-border payments, including integration, fraud prevention, and transaction fees, necessitating the use of payment service providers for effective solutions.

The situation is compounded by limited domestic production and low stock levels from major brands.
Chinese EV manufacturers, including BYD and GAC Aion, are expanding into Southeast Asia but face significant challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, stiff competition, and consumer skepticism. In Vietnam, BYD struggles against local leader VinFast, which sold 87,000 of 91,500 EVs last year, partly due to limited charging stations for Chinese brands. To enhance their market presence, Chinese firms are investing in local production, exemplified by BYD's $1.3 billion factory in Indonesia, while experts emphasize the need for better charging networks and a deeper understanding of local consumer preferences.
