Grab contributes $5.2b to Singapore's economy in 2023

Merchant-partners on the GrabFood and GrabMart platforms contributed $900m through their sales, whilst driver and delivery partners accounted for $3.1b.

Ride-hailing firm Grab's on-demand services contributed $5.2b to Singapore's economy in 2023, or around 0.8%, of the country’s GDP, according to Oxford Economics.

In its report, Oxford Economics said Grab’s operations directly generated $1.2b, primarily through employment and services provided by corporate offices and external vendors.

Additionally, merchant-partners on the GrabFood and GrabMart platforms contributed $900m through their sales, whilst driver and delivery partners accounted for $3.1b.

Grab’s services supported an estimated 117,000 earning opportunities across different supply chains, contributing $2.5b in household income.

The report also noted that for every $10 of GDP generated by Grab transactions, an additional $6 of economic activity was created in the broader economy.

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.
