Singapore ICT market to grow to $190.3b by 2028

The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 16.3%.

The enterprise information and communications technology (ICT) market in Singapore is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.3% to $190.3b (US$141b), driven by a vibrant tech ecosystem with a thriving startup scenario, well-developed communications infrastructure, and positive IT investment sentiment amongst enterprises in the country, a forecast report by forecasts GlobalData revealed.

The survey also indicates that 92.6% of the key enterprise ICT decision-makers from the country reported an increase in their enterprise ICT budgets for 2024 compared to the previous year.

Amongst the three IT infrastructure segments—hardware, software, and services—the services segment is anticipated to see the highest cumulative revenue growth over the forecast period.

“The cloud services market in Singapore is expected to grow at a CAGR of 24,8% over the forecast period, driven by the robust adoption of public cloud platforms and enterprise-grade solutions. Government policies, including initiatives encouraging the use of public cloud services in national systems, have significantly bolstered this expansion. Key sectors such as BFSI, energy, and IT are leading this adoption, leveraging cloud services to modernize infrastructure and enhance service delivery,” Samrat Volam, Technology Analyst at GlobalData, said.

The report also forecasts the BFSI sector to continue to dominate Singapore’s ICT market, accounting for 13.3% of cumulative revenue from 2023 to 2028.

Furthermore, the swift uptake of “PayNow” and digital payments within the fintech space is establishing the BFSI sector as a major driver of ICT market growth.

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.
