F&B sales drop 5.6% YoY in January

The lower F&B sales were partly due to CNY being celebrated in February.

Food and beverage (F&B) sales declined by 5.6% YoY in January. Month-on-month, however, sales improved by 0.3%.

Sales value clocked in at $942m. Of the total sales value, 23.1% was from online sales.

According to the Department of Statistics Singapore (Singstat), half of the F&B services industries recorded year-on-year increases in sales in January, with Food Caterers posting an 8.6% YoY growth and Cafes, Food Courts & Other Eating Places recording a 4.9YoY uptick.

Meanwhile, Restaurants and Fast Food Outlets both recorded a decline in sales, falling 16% YoY and 10.2% YoY, respectively.

Singapore F&B

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.
