Abstract Polarized neutron scattering is an indispensable tool for exploring a vast range of scientific phenomena. With its dynamic scientific community and significant governmental support as well as the rapid economic growth, the Asia–Pacific region has become a key player in the worldwide neutron scattering arena. From traditional research reactors to cutting-edge spallation neutron sources, this region is home to a myriad of advanced instruments offering a wide range of polarized neutron capabilities. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the development and current status of polarized neutron instruments and techniques in the Asia–Pacific region, emphasizing the important role of the Asia–Pacific region in shaping the landscape of global polarized neutron scattering development.
