Info-comm tops digital adoption at 3.7 in 2025

Digitalisation efforts in Singapore improved across all 11 sectors.

The information and communications sector, which includes the telecom industry, once again led the digital adoption intensity at 3.7 in 2025, up from 3.5 in 2024, according to the Singapore Digital Economy Report 2026.

The improvement in overall digital adoption intensity was driven by broader uptake across all 11 sectors, Infocomm Media Development Authority said in the report.

Finance and insurance ranked second at 3.3, up from 3.1 year on year (YoY), followed by professional services at 2.8, up from 2.6.

Admin and support services came next at 2.6, up from 2.5 YoY, followed by accommodation and food services at 2.4, up from 2.0, wholesale trade at 2.3, up from 2.1, and manufacturing at 2.2, up from 2.0.

Digital adoption intensity in both retail trade and real estate rose to 2.1 from 1.9.

Transportation and storage, along with construction, registered relatively lower digital adoption intensity levels at 2.0 and 1.9, respectively, although both improved from 1.9 and 1.7 in 2024.

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.
