Singapore’s retail foods market is diverse, dynamic, and extremely competitive. Almost all retail food is imported. Three main chains dominate the sector. Consumer spending on food and beverages is expected to grow 5 percent annually through 2018, which will drive continued growth in the retail sector. Demand from Singapore’s retail sector is fueling growth in U.S. exports of consumer oriented food products.
