The gauge consumer interests in Southeast Asia, iPrice Group analyzed 1.5 million searches on online shopping websites across Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, and Hong Kong. This data was mainly from the March/April period, when many of these countries are in the middle of lockdowns due to the ongoing Coronavirus situation.
