Chart of the Day: There’s no stopping the e-commerce boom in Singapore

Sales will top $1.4 billion this year.

Singapore's e-commerce sector will continue to expand at a breakneck pace in coming years, according to a report by CBRE.

Sales have grown at a record rate over the past five years, rising from just $800 million in 2012 to over $1.34 billion in 2015.

Citing data from a report by Euromonitor International, CBRE noted that 2014's internet retail sales grew 12.5% year-on-year to $1.08b, while mobile internet retail sales surged by 53.9% to $280.9 million.

CBRE believes that the strong growth in online retail will drive demand for industrial space in Singapore.

"All these indicate that Singapore's e-commerce sector is poised to expand further, which could potentially emerge as the next underlying demand driver for the industrial market," said CBRE.

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.
