Singapore dominates other SEA markets in cross-border e-commerce trade

Its total export is at $625b (US$457b).

A study found that Singapore has a larger share than other selected economies in Southeast Asia in cross-border eCommerce trade.

In its report, Luwijistik, a SaaS platform on e-commerce logistics, said Singapore’s import value is $555b (US$406b) while exports generated $625b (US$457b). Singapore was followed by Vietnam. It used the database of the United Nations.

Luwijistik's study showed that the third-party logistics market in SEA is anticipated to have a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5% until 2025, resulting in a market value of $76b (US$55.7b) by 2025.

“Based on these figures, the market will expand and achieve a substantial value of [$116b] US$85.2b by 2033,” read the study.

However, regarding this growth, Google, Temasek, and Bain & Company’s report maintains that Indonesia takes the lead regarding eCommerce Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV) in Southeast Asia.

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.
