"Empowering Consumers with Choice in Fast Changing Myanmar"

Myanmar’s 60 million consumer market is a golden opportunity for companies seeking inroad into this frontier market! From personal care to food & beverages to smart phone: international and regional brands are tapping into the country's rising consumer spending power.

The fast changing telecoms landscape is paving vast opportunities for consumer product marketers, seizing the digital age for enhanced commerce through mobile platform, internet advertisements and social media. Cash transactions are making way to mobile point of sale (mPOS) solution. The prospects of mobile services enveloping Myanmar will enhance retail and payment experiences for consumers.

Despite the heady optimism, challenges are still aplenty. Import and distribution channels are still a hurdle for brands moving in to the market. Certain sectors such as food consumables have to consider localization of products and face import and tax restrictions. The rise of the middle class and the shift to more savvy buying habits means media and advertisements need speak of product functionality and seek creative approaches to attract consumers.

CMT's 2nd MCS addresses multiple valuable sessions and benefits as well as extensive networking sessions with regional, international and Myanmar players and experts!

The summit will address key issues

• How to understand the mindset of local consumers and their buying habits?
• How to manage the supply chain management risk and volatility?
