A unified body shaping the future of retail across Asia-Pacific — bringing together associations, knowledge, and commerce since 1983.
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 provides opportunities for FAPRA members to learn from experts and establish meaningful relationships with counterparts across the region.
To honor members who have reached outstanding achievements in retail across Asia-Pacific, 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.
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.
Meet the visionary leaders driving regional retail transformation through strategic policy, international partnership, and cross-border innovation. Our council represents the collective weight of Asia-Pacific's retail force.
