The annual high-profile list compiled by Statista and the Financial Times is a visible and public acknowledgment of fast-growing companies in the Asia-Pacific region which is published online and as a supplement within the weekday edition of the FT newspaper.

calculation of growth rates
The calculation of company growth rates is based on the revenue figures submitted by the companies in the respective national currency. For better comparability in the ranking the revenue figures were converted into US-Dollar. The annual exchange rate of 2018 and 2021 provided by The World Bank for each currency-pair were used for this.
The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) was calculated as follows:
methodology
How we work
Application Phase
The project was advertised online and in print, allowing all eligible companies to register via the websites created by Statista and the Financial Times. In addition, through research in company databases and other public sources Statista has identified tens of thousands of companies in Asia-Pacific as potential candidates for the ranking. These companies were invited to participate in the competition by post and email.
The application phase ran from June 2022 to January 2023. The submitted revenue figures had to be certified by the CFO, CEO or a member of the Executive Committee of the company.
Criteria
To be included in the list of Hight-Growth Companies Asia-Pacific, a company had to meet the following criteria:
- Revenue of at least $100,000 generated in 2018 (or currency value equivalent according to the average of the actual fiscal year).
- Revenue of at least $1m generated in 2021 (or currency value equivalent according to the average of the actual fiscal year).
- Be independent (the company is not a subsidiary or branch office of any kind).
- Revenue growth between 2018 and 2021 that was primarily organic (ie “internally” stimulated)
Evaluation
The list ranks entrants from Singapore by their compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in revenue between 2018 and 2021. The fiscal years that predominantly falls into 2018 and 2021 were used for this calculation.
Quality Assurance
All data reported by the companies was processed and checked by Statista. Missing data entries (employee numbers, address data, etc.) were researched in detail. Companies that did not fulfill the criteria for inclusion in the ranking were deleted.
The minimum average growth rate required to be included in the ranking this year was 16,3%.
