Singapore’s digital economy hits $128.1b in 2024

It now accounts for more than $1 of every $6 in the economy.

Singapore’s digital economy (DE) grew to $128.1b in 2024, making up 18.6% of GDP, up from 18.0% in 2023, as per latest report from the Infocomm Media Development Authority.

This means the DE now accounts for more than S$1 of every $6 in the economy.

From 2019 to 2024, the DE expanded at a compound annual growth rate of 12.0%, outpacing nominal GDP growth of 7.3%.

Two-thirds of the DE comes from digitalisation in non-ICT sectors, led by finance & insurance, wholesale trade, and manufacturing.

The remaining one-third comes from the ICT sector. Both components grew 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.
