ASEAN Premium Database

Insights on Asia’s most dynamic region you can’t get anywhere else. 

The ASEAN countries comprise one of the most dynamic economic blocs in the world, with young populations, rapid urbanization, and increasing importance in global supply chains.

When examining and comparing these ten diverse Southeast Asian countries, economists, investment professionals, strategists and data scientists face persistent challenges: fragmented data, language barriers and a lack of standardized, timely information.

CEIC’s ASEAN Premium Database bridges this gap, offering comprehensive, harmonized and ready-to-use economic, sectoral, trade and financial data across ASEAN – with particular depth on the major “A6” economies.

For Economists

ASEAN’s “connector economy” phenomenon

ASEAN Premium’s trade data harmonizes import and export data across Southeast Asian markets and taps the power of CEIC’s decades of China-related expertise. After the first Trump term disrupted traditional US-China trade patterns, western and Chinese companies adjusted their supply chains; a new era for ASEAN manufacturing was the result. 

Philippines Petroleum Demand-1

For Commodity Strategists

Changing dynamics for oil demand in the Philippines

The Philippines depends on imported oil; as the global crude price changes and the peso fluctuates, different industries calibrate their use of refined products accordingly. ASEAN Premium’s sector-level data breaks down the growing importance of transport-related demand as services use less petroleum.

High frequency Thai airport data a leading indicator for visitors and hospitality-1

For Multi-Strat Investors

High-frequency tourism data in Thailand

ASEAN Premium empowers users to drill down to data on traffic at individual Thai airports released as frequently as twice per week. This provides an early read-through for granular, regional insights illuminating one of the world’s most hospitality-dependent economies amid a still-sluggish recovery from the pandemic. 

Malaysia surpassed Indonesia Thailand in monthly auto sales for first time in years in 2025-1

For Corporate Strategists

Malaysia is surpassing Indonesia and Thailand in auto demand

ASEAN Premium’s harmonized international comparisons highlight an under-reported trend: as demand in Thailand and Indonesia has been waning, Malaysia – a country with by far the smallest population of the three – is reporting higher monthly vehicle sales.
