F&B posts lower sales growth in August of 40.2% YoY

In July, sales grew by 41.9%.

Food and beverage (F&B) sales grew at a slower pace in August, jumping 40.2% YoY from a 41.9% YoY increase in July. Sales value clocked in at $928m.

On a seasonally adjusted month-on-month basis, F&B sales fell 0.2% from July.

Of the total sales value, 25.7% were from online sales.

According to the Department of Statistics Singapore (Singstat), the higher growth in F&B sales was mainly due to the low base in August 2021, when dine-in restrictions were still in place, but also due to all industries posting a year-on-year increase in sales.

Amongst industries, Food Caterers recorded the largest increase, soaring 128.3% YoY, followed by Restaurants which saw a 67.5% jump in sales.

Sales of Cafes, Food Courts & Other Eating Places and Fast Food Outlets also rose in August by 23.1% and 13.5%, respectively.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
