This document summarizes APNIC's activities and key metrics from 2018-2019. It highlights that: 1) APNIC membership and resources delegated, such as IPv4 addresses, IPv6 addresses, and autonomous system numbers, continued growing significantly in 2018-2019 according to projections. 2) Network security was identified as the top challenge by APNIC members based on a survey, with specific issues like phishing, spam, and DDoS attacks noted. 3) Scarcity of IPv4 addresses remains a major issue, with deploying IPv6 and the high costs of IPv4 addresses and NAT being the top challenges for members.
