Consumer & Retail

Investment in the consumer and retail markets continues to escalate as retail customers show a growing interest in a broader variety of products and services.

Asian consumers are spending more on retail, beauty, food, lifestyle and luxury items than ever before. This increase in demand opens the door to opportunities for foreign investors and companies to reach an eager and widespread Asian market.

We are proud to have advised our clients on successful transactions in the beauty & personal care, children lifestyle & entertainment, mother & baby care, apparel & accessories and food service industries.
