Singapore CEOs reveal top challenges likely to affect their company’s profitability

More than five in 10 cited skills shortages.

About seven in 10 (69%) CEOs in Singapore believe changing customer demand or preferences will affect their company’s profitability over the next ten years to either a large or very large extent, a survey from PwC has found.

A close number of CEOs (61%) expect regulation changes to affect their businesses.

Meanwhile, more than half (56%) said technology disruptors such as advanced tech, metaverse and blockchain, as well as supply chain disruption, will affect their business’ lucrativeness.

Other challenges that CEOs believe will likely affect profitability are new entrants to their respective industries (39%) and transition to new energy sources (31%).

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
