What is causing SingPost's mail revenues to decline?

Customers are shifting to alternative online services.

Analysts at UOB KayHian observed a structural decline in Singapore Post's postal segment.

The shift in revenue mix towards lower-margin international business saw postal operating profit decline 4.2% YoY.

They noted that with the steeper decrease in domestic mail revenue at 8% YoY, the decline in the domestic mail has not eased just yet.

"Going forward, we expect mail operating margins to remain suppressed as domestic mail revenue continues to be impacted by e-statements implementation and the shift to alternative online services," the analysts said.

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.
