Singapore still among Asia's most active retail markets as more F&B players set up shop

There were 63 new entrants in total.

Restaurants continued to sprout up across Singapore despite ongoing headwinds in the retail market, revealed a report by CBRE.

The survey showed that Singapore ranked second in the Asia Pacific region for the number of new entrants with cafes and restaurants making up 23 of the 63 new entrants.

CBRE Research expects that the retail market headwinds in Singapore will in fact create opportunities for international retailers to enter these markets as rents decline.

The report also found that F&B entrants made up the largest proportion of new entrants in Asia Pacific retail markets in 2015. 33 per cent of new brands which opened in these markets were captured under the Coffee and Restaurants category in the CBRE survey.

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.
