Here's how regional integration will impact the logistics sector in Singapore

Regional competition will intensify.

The ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) will spell greater competition for the logistics sector in Singapore, according to a report by CBRE.

CBRE said that rising logistics hubs in Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia will compete more keenly with Singapore as a result of the AEC.

Despite this, Singapore's location at the heart of Southeast Asia will give logistics operators the opportunity to tap into multiple markets.

"Singapore benefits from its reputation as a global logistics hub with strong expertise in the sector. Its position could be bolstered further [by the] AEC and TPP by facilitating freer movement of goods and create business opportunities," said the report.

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.
