The retail industry in Singapore has seen tremendous growth in recent years. With the global retail industry expected to be worth USD $28 trillion by 2019, and the local Retail Trade industry accounting for 1.4% of Singapore's total GDP in 2016, the retail industry (physical and online) has been identified as a key industry for growth in Singapore.
The industry has undergone many changes in recent years, including the need for existing retailers to reconsider how to connect with customers and the establishment of new e-commerce businesses by aspiring entrepreneurs.
Discover how the retail industry is igniting retail innovation in Singapore and across Asia Pacific, with a focus on key areas such as research, insights, talent, and community.
This program seeks to provide an all-inclusive understanding of the development in the Retail sector in Singapore. Join us as we explore Singapore's retail ecosystem – get up close with leading experts and be part of the exciting journey.
