Investing Beyond The Us: 5 Asian Tech Stocks To Watch (2025)

Moving EastFor almost 2 decades, the US stock market was the place to be, both for domestic and overseas investors. This is not a new phenomenon, with the investing fortune of the US vs the world often moving around very long duration cycles lasting years or decades.As the USA markets have been rising higher and higher, many have started to wonder when a return to other regions would be best, with many of the pessimists proven wrong so far, or maybe just too early.And it seems that indeed, looking to other markets out of the USA might make sense. Besides the possibility of the cycle turning, rising geopolitical tensions, de-globalization in full swing, and a strong economic shock brought by Trump's tariffs could all contribute to a downturn in the economy and financial markets.At the same time, Asia as a whole is still booming, with SE-Asia quickly industrializing. As the 700 million people region is following the path previously taken by China, this could make the region the world's economic center, after 5 centuries of Western prominence.If that is so, investors might want to be positioned early in local tech companies that have a strong hold on the region's consumer markets, or a unique competitive advantage in their niche.1. AlibabaAlibaba Group Holding Limited BABA -0.71% )The Chinese e-commerce giant is not only a force to recon with in China with its Taobao & Tmall websites (retail) and 1688 (wholesale), and is also Europe's biggest online marketplace since 2023 .Its international presence includes wholesales (Alibaba), retail (AliExpress), and regional large e-commerce like Lazada active in SE-Asia (16.4% market share).Taking a page from Amazon’s playbook, Alibaba is also a major actor in cloud computing, with a larger share of the Chinese cloud market than its next 2 competitors together, the tech giants Huawei and Tencent.To support the other activities as well as increase profit, Alibaba also operates a logistical arm called Cainiao and owns 33% of Ant Group, Alibaba's former financing/banking division.Ant Group includes the very popular payment system AliPay, as well as various solutions integrated into a few super-apps for services as varied as online banking, wealth management apps, insurance, loans, food & medicine delivery, government services, mobility, etc.Alibaba is also at the forefront of creating a Chinese AI open-source ecosystem, with the community ModelScope (launched in 2022) , the largest in China, using 2,300 AI models, based on Alibaba’s “Model-as-a-Service” initiative .With ModelScope, we aim to simplify and reduce the cost of developing, customizing, and deploying AI models for developers and corporations, thereby enabling the creation of revolutionary AI applications that have a positive impact on society.
