Singapore

ASIAN shoppers' fondness for buying on the Internet along with the region's steady economic growth should boost Asia's plastics demand for the next two years.

Asia's e-commerce market may expand by more than 30 per cent to an average per year of US$960 billion in 2017 and 2018, from an average per year of US$730 billion a year in 2015 and 2016, according to business consultants Frost & Sullivan.
