The impact of restrictions was not consistent across all channels within retailing in Singapore. In 2021, strict movement restrictions resulted in a decline in retail salespeople. Malaysian staff members are commonplace in several retailing channels, including traditional grocery retailers. Singapore is also highly dependent on tourists, and it is common to see retail outlets employing native Japanese and Korean speakers.

The publisher's Retailing in Singapore report offers insight into key trends and developments driving the industry. The report examines all retail channels to provide sector insight. Channels include hypermarkets, supermarkets, discounters, convenience stores, mixed retailers, health and beauty retailers, clothing and footwear retailers, furniture and furnishing stores, DIY and hardware stores, durable goods retailers, leisure and personal goods retailers. There are profiles of leading retailers, with analysis of their performance and the challenges they face. There is also analysis of non-store retailing: vending; homeshopping; internet retailing; direct selling, as available.

Product coverage: Non-Store Retailing, Store-Based Retailing.

Data coverage: market sizes (historic and forecasts), company shares, brand shares and distribution data.
