Domestic trades jump by 49.8% YoY for Q2 2021

The trade of metals, timber, and construction materials contributed the most, seeing a 105.2% increase.

The Department of Statistics Singapore saw a 49% increase in domestic wholesale trade for the second quarter of 2021.

The recorded number is 1.2% more than the first quarter of the same year.

Major contributors to the jump include the construction, petroleum, and ship chandlers and bunkering sectors at 105.2%, 79.1%, and 73.5%, respectively. Factors that further boosted these industries include more demand for materials and higher oil prices.

Meanwhile, the food, beverage, and tobacco industries were the only branch to record a loss at -4.8%, which can be attributed to lower sales of grocery items.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
