F&B sales down 6.7% in August

This is a 6% decline from the value recorded in July.

According to the Department of Statistics Singapore, food and beverage (F&B) sales saw a 6.7% year-on-year decrease in August 2021.

This can be attributed to stricter dine-in regulations. This is also a 6% decline when compared to the previous month.

Overall, the total sales value of F&B was estimated at $628m. Online F&B sales made up about 38.8%.

Three of the four industries covered by the study experienced a positive performance due to the demand for food deliveries. These were fast food outlets, cafes, food courts and other eating places, and food caterers. These recorded a YoY growth of 8.7%, 3.1%, and 0.1% respectively.

Meanwhile, restaurants were the only sector to experience a decline at 24.5%. This, again, is due to the stricter dine-in measures when compared to last year.

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.
