F&B sales jump 29.7% YoY in September

The increase was due to the low base in the same month last year.

Food and beverage (F&B) sales grew at a slower pace in September, jumping 29.7% YoY from a 40.1% YoY increase in August. Sales value clocked in at $915m.

Of the total sales value, 24.4% was 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 September 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 135.2% YoY, followed by Restaurants which saw a 36.9% jump in sales.

Sales of Cafes, Food Courts & Other Eating Places and Fast Food Outlets also rose in September by 16.9% and 19.8%, 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.
