Market Impact

The survey highlights growing credit risk concentration in Asia, particularly for small firms and vulnerable sectors. This may lead to tighter trade credit terms and increased demand for credit insurance, benefiting insurers like Atradius but pressuring liquidity in construction and manufacturing supply chains.

Event Summary

Atradius published its Payment Practices Barometer Asia on July 8, 2026, based on a survey of 2,145 suppliers across China, China — Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, and Vietnam. The report reveals a two-speed credit landscape where larger firms maintain stable payment behavior while smaller companies and sectors like construction and manufacturing face rising late payments and bad debts. Over 80% of suppliers reported late payments, driven by customer cash flow stress. Business sentiment is evenly split on whether conditions will improve or deteriorate.
