APRG  - Our Story


Established in 1995 with technology leaders from IBM and AT&T, our research and advisory firm has managed to build up a solid network and a reputation for great local insights. 

We began our business to fill a gap we saw in the market - comprehensive in situ market research in the emerging markets of Asia. 

At the time we knew the region was on the cusp of a significant technological shift - but trusted metrics and insights into local markets was nearly impossible to find. 

So we began to establish a cadre of field research staff one country at a time. We were the first to cover the incredible growth of Indonesia's mobile data revolution, the first to cover the wearable computing market, and the shift to SaaS for the CRM and Contact Center Market, and the hyper growth of the region's data centers being fueled by LLM deployments.  

We have over 300 clients including Adobe, Cisco, HPE, IBM, NTT,  Deloitte, and Qualcomm, as well as VCs and Hedge Funds, that return to us for insights into shifts in technology adoption, and the underpinning trends and risks in the Asia Pacific region.  

Our leadership team is based in Hong Kong and Tokyo, with research staff in Tampa, KL, Manila, Philippines and K.L. Malaysia.
