ABOUT
FAPRA
A unified voice for retail across Asia-Pacific — connecting associations, exchanging knowledge, and shaping the future of commerce since 1983.
Elevating retail
across the region.
The Federation of Asia-Pacific Retailers Associations (FAPRA) was established in 1983. It has implemented activities and developed itself to discuss common issues in the region, and promote information exchange and friendship — thereby contributing to the development of commerce and the improvement of retailers' status and citizens' lives across the region.
FAPRA has been a congregation of retail associations that come together for one key objective — the sharing of information. One of its most celebrated activities is the biennial Asia Pacific Retailers Convention & Exhibition (APRCE), which gives members the chance to learn from experts and build meaningful relationships across the region.
To honor members who have reached outstanding achievements in retail, the FAPRA Award was first presented in 2009. The Permanent Secretariat, established in March 2006, continues to strengthen coordination and networking among all member associations.

Chairman's Message
Unity strengthens our voice, amplifies our potential, and creates opportunities for sustainable growth, knowledge sharing, and collaboration.
The Asia-Pacific region stands as the fastest-growing economic powerhouse in the world. Accounting for over 38% of global GDP and home to more than 62% of the world's population, the region is positioned to lead in retail growth and innovation.
At FAPRA, we believe that together, we have the opportunity to drive greater benefits — not only for our members but for the retail industry as a whole.
Innovation, collaboration, and integrity are the values that define us. The journey ahead is bright, and I am confident that, with your support, we will forge
a vibrant and impactful chapter for retail in the Asia-Pacific region.
