F&B sales jump 29.7% YoY in September

The increase was due to the low base in the same month last year.

Food and beverage (F&B) sales grew at a slower pace in September, jumping 29.7% YoY from a 40.1% YoY increase in August. Sales value clocked in at $915m.

Of the total sales value, 24.4% was 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 September 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 135.2% YoY, followed by Restaurants which saw a 36.9% jump in sales.

Sales of Cafes, Food Courts & Other Eating Places and Fast Food Outlets also rose in September by 16.9% and 19.8%, 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.
