Singapore poised to overtake Switzerland as world’s largest commodity trading hub

It will handle 30% of agri-commodity trade by 2025.

Singapore will snatch Switzerland’s commodity trading crown over the next decade, as the city-state continues to ramp up operations on back of burgeoning Asian demand for commodities.

CLSA forecasts that Singapore will handle 30% of global agricultural commodity trade by 2025, up from just 20% in 2015. Singapore will also retain its spot as Asia’s largest oil trader.

Singapore’s commodity trading position will be cemented by improved operating conditions such as preferential tax rates for commodity traders, infrastructure improvements and increased logistics capacity.

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.
