Asiansbook: The Asian Network & Marketplace: Challenge & Opportunity: The continent of Asia is massive making up 30% of the world's total land area and possessing 4.4 billion people. It accounts for 40% of global GDP which has increased from 20% the last century. India and China alone make up 36.4% of the world's population and provide for 2.5 trillion and 12.5 trillion in GDP respectively. As you can imagine, with a population that large, demand and consumption is currently disparate and uncoordinated. Asian consumers consume locally and producers are focused on those within their close proximity. With the advent of inexpensive smartphones and the coming of a ubiquitous internet, we see the next billion both producing and consuming in a more digital capacity. Asiansbook, the Asian network and marketplace has positioned itself to be the very platform to facilitate this phenomena by allowing producers to offer their goods/services to a scaled marketplace.
