Building trust in Asia
Microsoft-IDC: Understanding consumer trust
in digital services in Asia Pacific
Asia Pacific is one of the most digitally active regions globally. While consumers in the region are becoming increasingly reliant on digital services, consumers are also more aware of the risks involved in interacting and transacting online as their personal data can potentially be abused not only by hackers but also by organizations.
A Microsoft-IDC Asia/Pacific study found that only 31% of consumers believe that their personal data will be treated in a trustworthy manner by organizations offering digital services.
The study, titled “Understanding Consumer Trust in Digital Services in Asia Pacific”, aims to understand consumers’ expectations of trust, uncover their experiences with digital services and provide tangible insights to organizations to help bridge the gap by earning and sustaining the trust of consumers in the digital world.
The study was conducted with nearly 6,400 consumers across 14 markets in Asia Pacific.
