在TechCrunch上看到一篇新闻【2】,其中关于世界对中国的认识,有兴趣的可以看一看【1】,数据大多来自CNNIC的统计,看来国外同行认可了这份统计。
Current Challenges In South East Asia’s Tech Scene
It’s still very early in the game, it’s already a huge market, and
there’s room for massive future growth in South East Asia’s web and
mobile industry. But there are still some significant hurdles to
overcome, especially if you regard South East Asia as one
region.
Some hurdles I personally see in South East Asia’s web and mobile market (and on the way to a possible integration) are the:
still relatively undeveloped tech ecosystem and its “chicken and
egg” problem
(depending on the country: big number of copycats, relatively low
number of startups, few to almost no VCs firms/angel investors, low
salaries for engineers, low propensity of skilled employees to work
for startups, fewer people with an entrepreneurial mindset
etc.)
historically, culturally, and economically diverse markets
much lower online spend than in North America or Europe
weak exit environment (IPOs, trade sales)
political and legal problems in some South East Asian
countries
(IP protection, bureaucracy for startups, general political
instability)
massive “brain drain”
still low Internet penetration (examples: Indonesia has 12.5%
Internet penetration, Vietnam has 25.7%, the Philippines just
24.5%)
fragmented mobile landscape
underdeveloped online and mobile payment infrastructure (if
any)
Many of these problems, for example the low Internet penetration,
will probably solve themselves in the future. And in fact, local
startups, partly financed by local venture capital firms (which do
exist), are starting to crop up all over the place.
