Singaporean shoppers snapped up more house-brands in 2014

Cheapness is the main draw.

The popularity of house-brands is on the rise for a large number of Singaporean shoppers.

A study conducted by Ipsos and SSI showed that 66% of Singaporeans are purchasing house-brand groceries, while over one in three or  32% of respondents say they have increased spend on house-brands compared to the year before.

On the average, a third of shoppers' grocery baskets are filled with house-brand products.

While the cheaper price of a house-brand (55%) is the main draw for these Singaporeans, 26% of them state the primary reason for choosing house-brands is that the quality is the same or better than branded goods.

Another 18% feel that though the quality of the goods is slightly less than branded goods, the lower price justifies the purchase.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
