How much does an average Singaporean spend on monthly groceries?

An average Singaporean spends $211 monthly on groceries.

Amidst the rise in prices, a study found out that an average Singaporean shell out $211 per month in groceries.

Picodi’s research also showed that Singapore was second place out of 105 markets in spending on food. Food and non-alcoholic drinks make up 8.4% of Singaporean's spending on goods and services.

“Less than a tenth of spending on food and non-alcoholic beverages consumed at home can be found in countries such as the USA – 6.7%, Singapore – 8.4%, the UK – 8.7%, Ireland – 9.2% and Switzerland – 9.9%,” read the data.

For grocery spending in APAC, the highest is in Hong Kong ($306/month), followed by New Zealand ($290/month) and Japan ($288/month), which can be explained by the overall high prices in those countries.

The report used the latest household food and non-alcoholic beverages consumption statistics from Euromonitor and official government websites.

In recent inflation figures, core inflation in Singapore eased due to a smaller increase in food prices and a decline in electricity costs.

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.
