Asian Firms Divided on Insolvency Outlook Amid Ongoing Trade Challenges

Amid a fragmented B2B customer payment risk landscape, Asia’s corporate sector is concerned about cash flow and profitability


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 August 2025 – The 2025 edition of the Atradius Payment Practices Barometer survey for Asia reveals a nearly even split between businesses expecting stable payment behaviour from their customers and those foreseeing a deterioration in payment risk in the coming months.

The survey, conducted in the second half of Q2 2025 across China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, and Vietnam, highlights regional resilience amid rising financial vulnerabilities driven by global trade policy uncertainty, liquidity constraints, and worsening B2B payment behavior.

Late payments affect 44% of B2B credit sales, with bad debts averaging 5%—a seemingly modest figure that nonetheless significantly impacts profitability. Businesses cite customer liquidity issues, delays in customers’ payment processes, invoice disputes and supply chain disruptions as the top reasons for late payments.

The survey also found that three in five Asian companies (60%) have expanded trade credit offerings but kept payment terms steady to limit exposure to payment risks while maintaining customer loyalty and encouraging sales. Furthermore, the survey shows, 54% of all B2B sales are transacted on credit with 48-day average payment terms, highlighting the central role credit plays in financing trade across Asia. Bank loans, invoice financing and internal funds have served as the other key sources of funding over the past 12 months.

Looking ahead, the survey’s findings depict a region also divided on considerations such as inventory turnover and days sales outstanding (DSO) – the time taken to collect payments – but united in acknowledging and anticipating macro challenges, such as the influence of increased trade uncertainties, growing regulatory compliance burdens and the pressures to adopt sustainable practices to address environmental concerns.

At the same time, projections of sales and profitability across Asia remain cautiously optimistic as indicated by companies’ plans to manage payment risk. In this scenario, balancing the dual needs of liquidity and risk management will be pivotal for success in the months ahead, the survey concludes.

“The latest findings from our Payment Practices Barometer for Asia reveal critical insights into the operational challenges faced by businesses. Issues like increasing bad debts, trade policy uncertainties, compliance pressures, and sustainability initiatives are prominent. However, there is also cautious optimism as companies acknowledge these challenges and explore solutions,” stated Eric den Boogert, Managing Director of Atradius in Asia. “This includes adapting to market changes and ensuring optimal liquidity while effectively managing risk through strategies like outsourcing credit risk management to enhance traditional internal measures.”

HistoIndex Marks Another Step Forward with FibroSIGHT™ Plus: Introducing AI-based Quantitative Analysis in Fibrosis Assessment

By
Advertorial Desk

SINGAPORE, Aug. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — HistoIndex, a pioneering leader in digital pathology solutions for chronic liver disease, has announced the launch of FibroSIGHT™ Plus, its second Laboratory Developed Test (LDT) available in the United States. Building on the foundation of FibroSIGHT™[1], which debuted just months earlier, FibroSIGHT™ Plus introduces an additional feature of automated quantitative analysis of fibrosis – a key advancement that enables more consistent and precise characterization at diagnosis and tracking of fibrosis in patients with Metabolic Dysfunction-associated Steatohepatitis (MASH). “We’re thrilled to deliver another advancement in MASH diagnostics, bridging our experience and capabilities in clinical trials all the way to clinical use.”, said Yukti Choudhury, Chief Development Officer at HistoIndex.

At the core of FibroSIGHT™ Plus is qFibrosis®, HistoIndex’s proprietary AI-driven algorithm. By leveraging stain-free Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) imaging of MASH liver biopsies, qFibrosis® automatically quantifies multiple fibrosis-related collagen architectural and morphological features detected by SHG in various spatial zones of a liver biopsy and translates them into a single value or stage for fibrosis[2]. The result is fibrosis expressed on a continuous scale, rather than in discrete categories. This allows more detailed insights into the disease severity and offers clinicians a sensitive tool with which to better characterize individual patients at diagnosis and to monitor subtle changes in their disease over time.

“Having worked with HistoIndex for many years, I have witnessed firsthand the value that Second Harmonic Generation imaging brings to fibrosis assessment in MASH clinical trials, with highly sensitive and consistent detection and quantification of fibrosis in liver biopsies. Automated solutions like FibroSIGHT™ Plus represent the future of liver pathology. The ability to detect incremental changes in fibrosis with this level of precision is exactly what we need to guide earlier and more targeted interventions in MASH,” said Dr. Naim Alkhouri, MD, Chief Academic Officer at Summit Clinical Research and the Director of the Steatotic Liver Disease Program at the Clinical Research Institute of Ohio.

Unlike conventional pathology methods, which are prone to variability in staining and interpretation, FibroSIGHT™ Plus delivers a standardized and objective measurement across the entire biopsy specimen. By removing subjectivity and inter-reader variability, as well as offering granular measurements at single-fiber resolution on the entire spectrum of fibrosis in MASH, the FibroSIGHT™ Plus test enhances confidence in fibrosis assessment and supports more personalized and data-driven treatment decisions.

“When benchmarked against reference fibrosis stages from expert pathologists’ consensus, HistoIndex’s qFibrosis® aligns closely, and demonstrates greater consistency than traditional histology. This level of reproducibility is essential in clinical practice and represents an important step toward replacing subjective scoring with reliable, quantitative metrics.” added Dr. Mazen Noureddin, MD, MHSc, Professor of Medicine, Transplant Hepatologist at Houston Methodist Hospital and a Co-Chairman of the Board Summit and Pinnacle Clinical Research.

FibroSIGHT™ Plus marks another advancement in HistoIndex’s efforts to integrate its digital pathology solutions into routine patient care. With more innovations underway, HistoIndex continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in improving outcomes for patients with MASH.

About MASH

Metabolic Dysfunction-associated Steatohepatitis (MASH) is a progressive form of Metabolic Dysfunction-associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) characterized by steatosis, ballooning degeneration and inflammation, which can lead to fibrosis (scarring), cirrhosis, liver failure and an increased risk of liver cancer. Pathologist assessment of liver biopsy remains the gold standard for diagnosing and assessing the severity of MASH. Histological categorial scoring systems are often used as surrogate endpoints to evaluate drug efficacy in MASH clinical trials. These endpoints are limited in capturing the complex and heterogeneous nature of the disease. As a result, there is a growing need for more accurate and reliable tools, such as AI-based digital pathology solutions, to improve the assessment of treatment response and disease severity in MASH.

About HistoIndex

Founded in 2010, HistoIndex pioneers in stain-free, fully automated imaging solutions for visualizing and quantifying fibrosis in biological tissues. By combining cutting-edge biophotonic technology with AI-based analysis, HistoIndex provides innovative tools to improve the assessment of fibrosis changes and drug efficacy. HistoIndex’s breakthrough digital pathology solutions are currently used in accelerating clinical research, expediting pharmaceutical drug development, and transforming medical standards.

At this year’s SENEC Congress, Spain’s leading annual event hosted by the Spanish Society of Neurosurgery, which gathers experts from across the country to share the latest scientific advances and clinical innovations in the field, Spanish neurosurgeons had the opportunity to witness NaoTrac, Brain Navi’s neurosurgical navigation robot, in action. Alongside Palex, Brain Navi showcased its technology throughout the event. Surgeons from all around Spain expressed strong interest in NaoTrac’s capabilities and potential applications in their hospitals. “Spain holds great promise as a hub for neurosurgical innovation,” said Carles Calaf, Director of the Neurosciences Business Unit at Palex Healthcare. “At SENEC, we witnessed firsthand how strongly surgeons responded to the need for more intelligent, AI-powered tools in the OR. This aligns with our belief that technology like NaoTrac can genuinely enhance surgical precision and support clinical teams in delivering better outcomes. With Brain Navi as our partner, we are confident this is only the beginning of helping more hospitals — and more patients — across Spain.”

Just one week after the congress, the first NaoTrac system was installed in a Spanish hospital, where neurosurgeons, supported by Brain Navi and Palex teams, performed the country’s first surgeries using the NaoTrac. The surgeons were highly impressed by NaoTrac’s precision and intuitive design, highlighting its user-friendliness and value as a powerful asset in the Operating Room.

“At Palex, our mission is to bring cutting-edge medical technology closer to those who need it most,” said Eulàlia Llopis, General Manager of the Hospital Area at Palex. “Collaborating with Brain Navi reflects our commitment to supporting clinicians with solutions that truly make a difference — in precision, efficiency, and above all, patient care.”

For Brain Navi, this marks a major milestone in our global expansion, reinforcing the mission to improve patient outcomes through advanced medical technologies and to empower surgical teams with the best tools available.
