Car sales pick up speed as massive de-registration cycle gathers steam

Sales will grow 20% over 2 years.

Local car sales are expected to pick up speed over the next two years as Singapore's de-registration cycle gains traction, a report by BMI Research revealed today.

The report revealed that Singapore will be leading the South East Asian vehicle market with an average annual growth of 20%, while weakness in other major markets such as Malaysia and Indonesia will help the city-state cement its position.

However, smaller markets like the Philippines and Vietnam might be able to give Singapore a run for its money in terms of car sales growth.

"Singapore is now in the process of replacing vehicles due for de-registration at the end of their 10-year validity period. This will make Singapore the standout growth market in the ASEAN region," the report said.

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.
