The food and beverage services (F&B) sales went up 4.7% in March 2022, year-on-year (YoY), which is a reversal from the 0.7% decline in February 2022, figures from the Department of Statistics Singapore showed.

On a seasonally adjusted basis, F&B sales grew 8.0% in March 2022 over the previous month.

In March 2022, total sales value of F&B services in March 2022 was estimated at $806m. Of this, online F&B sales made up an estimated 30.4%, a similar proportion to that recorded in February 2022.

Within the industry, turnover of food caterers went up by 50.3% YoY due to higher demand for in-flight catering after the borders reopened.

Sales of restaurants, fast food outlets as well as cafes, food courts and other eating places went up between 1.3% and 3.9% in March 2022.

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.
