On a QoQ basis, a 3.6% increase was observed.

Singapore recorded a 34.9% year-on-year (YoY) increase in domestic wholesale trades, the Department of Statistics Singapore reported.

This performance was attributed to higher oil prices. Excluding petroleum, domestic wholesale sales increased YoY by 22.2%.

Following this growth, all trade industries echoed the same growth, with Ship Chandlers & Bunkering, Chemicals & Chemical Products, and Petroleum & Petroleum Products leading in wholesale trade. Respectively, these sectors had growths of 74.1%, 64%, and 54.4%, respectively.

On the other end, sectors with the lowest growth include Industrial & Construction Machinery (0.9%), Transport Equipment (3.4%), and Electric Components (4.9%).

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
