F&B posts lower sales growth in July of 41.9% YoY

In June, sales grew by 59.1%.

Food and beverage (F&B) sales grew at a slower pace in July, jumping 41.9% YoY from a 59.1% YoY increase in June. Sales value clocked in at $939m.

On a seasonally adjusted month-on-month basis, however, F&B sales marginally grew by 0.1% from June.

Of the total sales value, 26.2% were from online sales.

According to the Department of Statistics Singapore (Singstat), the higher growth in F&B sales was mainly due to the low base in July 2021, when dine-in restrictions were still in place, but also due to all industries posting a year-on-year increase in sales.

Amongst industries, Food Caterers recorded the largest increase, soaring 133.0% YoY, followed by Restaurants which saw a 76.8% jump in sales.

Sales of Cafes, Food Courts & Other Eating Places and Fast Food Outlets also rose in July by 22.1% and 11.5%, respectively.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
