Summary
A YouGov survey commissioned by Meta, covering 3,983 small business owners across nine Asia-Pacific markets (fieldwork August 6 to September 2), found 84% already use AI in their work. 76% reported productivity gains and 71% reported better revenue or sales, while owners who gained productivity put the saved time into work quality (58%) and growth planning (50%). At the same time, 86% said small businesses need more guidance to get the full benefits of AI. The sponsor relationship and cross-market interpretation limits are noted in the original report.
Why it matters for our work
AI use is now everyday practice in small workplaces, not just large enterprises. Where the saved time goes, and the demand for clearer cost and training guidance, signal what support small teams need to work faster with AI.
