Hyper-Growth Consumer Markets and Global Supply Chain Strategies

The assignment focuses on the effects of hyper-growth consumer markets in Asia on global supply chains. It aims to establish strategies for managing this phenomenon by investigating the challenges it poses and identifying potential solutions. The study employs a qualitative approach, using documentary review research design and secondary data from various sources. A panel of experts will be constituted to select relevant content, and data will be analyzed qualitatively using 'Jig Jaw' puzzle method.

Introduction
Across the world there have been a
continental shifts in consumer rates in
several markets. The shift of consumer
originates from the term hyper-growth of
consumers. The term represents a super
demand of commodities rising from
population which continues to bulge every
year (Marti & Garcia , 2014).

Cont’d…
Manufacturers and producers have to look for
other suitable supply chain to ensure goods
are available for consumption in their own
countries. The shift in global dynamics and
changes in internal processes is compelling
retailers, producers, and manufacturers to
challenge the normal norm and formulate
other suitable supply chain strategies.
Innovative supply chain strategies have
become the competitive cutting edge for
business to succeed.

Statement of the
problem
 The total population in Asia is estimated to be
about 2.5 billion individuals and is set to multiple
every coming year (Saslavsky, 2014)
 The increase in demand for commodities in Asia
has led to a hyper market for commodities. The
global supply chain has been affected both up
stream and lower streams.
 Based on consumption shifts in today global
market the manufacturers have to continue
adopting quicker supply chain strategies. The
challenge is on which suitable strategies or
approaches can be adopted to tackle the problem.

Research aims and objectives
The study will then aim to establish strategies
for global supply chain that can be used to
manage the hyper-growth of consumer markets
in Asia. Then the study will be guided by the
following objectives:
 To establish the challenges posed by growth of
hyper consumer markets on global supply
chain in Asia
 To establish strategies used to mitigate hyper-
growth of consumer markets affecting global
supply chain in Asia.

Methodology
 The study will employ qualitative approach in
the study. Documentary review research
design will be used in order to provide
explanation of objects being investigated by
the study (Kothari, 2012).
 Secondary data will be collected from various
sources to give meaning to the study. The
secondary data collected from books, credible
magazines, and peer reviewed journals.
 . A panel of experts will be constituted to
ensure relevant content are selected for the
study from the secondary sources.

Continued…
 Data collected, organized, coded and analyzed
qualitatively. The process of analysis will
involve identification, examination and
interpreting research themes using textual
data and identifying patterns to be followed
(Kothari, 2012).
 The study will employ then a ‘Jig Jaw’ puzzle
method to pieces together related texts and
data to provide a meaningful report.
