Asia Pacific Research Group

Independent analysis, advisory services, and collaboration opportunities for technology companies, investors, and industry partners.

About APRG

Founded 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.

APRG set out to fill a gap we saw in the market – comprehensive in situ research in the emerging markets of Asia. 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.
We established a cadre of engineers and analysts throughout APAC. We were the first to cover the incredible growth of Indonesia’s mobile data revolution, the first to cover the wearable computing market, the shift to SaaS for the CRM and Contact Center Market, and now the hyper growth of the region’s Data Centers being fueled by LLM deployments.
Over 300 clients including Adobe, Cisco, HPE, IBM, NTT, Deloitte, and Qualcomm, as well as VCs and Hedge Funds, continue to return to us for insights into shifts in technology adoption in Asia, and the underpinning trends and risks in the Asia Pacific region.
Our leadership team is based in Hong Kong and Singapore with analysts across the region.

APRG Services

With in-depth analysis, exclusive interviews, and well populated databases, we provide a 360° insight into the often-opaque markets in Asia Pacific.
Our offerings include:

Syndicated Research Reports

We research and publish innovative thinking on markets that may be opaque or challenging and turning that information into strategic insights. We know that the decision to enter or expand a market is not a simple process and requires real local insights from experienced leaders.
Our research products are designed to help you clearly understand the opportunities and nuances of the emerging sectors and markets in Asia.

Advisory and Consulting

APRG’s areas of specialization include emerging market opportunity assessment, supply chain risks, competitive analysis, as well as local partnering strategies. With decades of experience navigating Asia’s technology markets, we deliver deep, on-the-ground intelligence to power your M&A decisions.
From uncovering hidden risks to pinpointing untapped growth potential, APRG investigations go beyond the numbers—examining leadership credibility, market traction, competitive threats, and IP strengths.
