Over the past decade, the Asia Pacific region has contributed two thirds of global growth and is set to overtake the combined economic output of Europe and North America in the early 2020’s. The region is home to more than half the world’s population and will account for more than 60% of the global middle class in the coming years. Already, more than 600 Irish companies do business in this fast-growing region with exports more than doubling over the last four years.
