Food caterer sales continue year-on-year decline in April

Whilst all other food and beverage sectors show sales growth from last year, sales from food caterers fell by 31.7%

Food and beverage services sales increased by 73.4% in April compared to the same month last year, according to latest government data.

This is higher than the 8.4% increase recorded in March, due to the significantly low base in April 2020, the start of the Circuit Breaker period.

However, this is still below pre-COVID levels.

Broken down into sectors, restaurant sales saw a massive 172.9% increase, fast food outlets a 34.8% increase and other eating places a 59.6% increase.

Sales for food caterers continue to fall on the negative, with a 31.7% decline in April 2021 compared to April 2020.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
