May food and beverage sales increase by 46.4% to $617m

More than a third of F&B sales were done online.

Sales of food and beverage (F&B) services increased by 46.4% to $617 million in May, according to the latest government data.

This was attributed to the low base last year during the Circuit Breaker period, where dining-in at establishments was not allowed.

However, this is still below pre-COVID levels.

Food caterers have yet to recover from the pandemic, with a 52.3% decline in sales in May.

Meanwhile, restaurant sales grew by 89.5%, cafe and other eating places by 54.4% and fastfood outlets by 37.2%.

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.
