E-commerce is one of the fastest-growing sectors contributing to Southeast Asia’s economies. 

The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns have changed consumption patterns, where products and services are being purchased from the convenience and safety of home. There is also a shift in the e-commerce purchasing behavior of consumers — from luxury goods and services to everyday necessities.

With a growing middle class and rising Internet penetration, Singapore generates the highest online retail sales in Southeast Asia. According to Accenture, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in an additional earning of US$500 million for Singapore’s digital economy, and some businesses saw up to three times their annual growth.

This exponential growth and increase in consumer demand has led to government initiatives to support the development of e-commerce.
