How Courts Asia will benefit from Singapore's 6.9m population target

It's looking at $16.8m sales growth.

According to Phillip Securities, based on the latest government projection, Singapore’s population could rise up to 6.9 million by 2030. With 2012 mid-year estimated population of 5.3 million, and assuming a straight line increase, this implies an increase of 85,820 people per year. 

With a total fertility rate of 1.29 as at 2012 in Singapore, this increase in population is expected to come from having more foreigners, likely with considerable purchasing power and need for household products.

"Based on a forecast spending of S$2,000 per person yearly, this translates to S$16.8 million increase in sales yearly, based on market share assumption of 9.8%. This represents 2.3% of FY2012 total sales revenue," Phillip Securities said.

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.
