Market Report I 2025-01-22 I 141 Pages I Inkwood Research
KEY FINDINGS
The Singapore travel retail market is expected to reach $71.56 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 7.59% during the forecast period 2025-2032.
MARKET INSIGHTS
Singapore's travel retail market is experiencing considerable growth, driven by the country's resurgence in tourism and its strong position as a leading destination for both leisure and business travel. In 2023, Singapore attracted 13.6 million international visitors, more than double its population, according to the Singapore Tourism Board. This increase in tourist arrivals, particularly from Asia, has fueled demand for travel retail. The city-state continues to attract visitors with a wide range of attractions, including major business events, conferences, and cultural landmarks.
A key driver of this growth is Singapore Changi Airport, which has established itself as a prominent retail hub. The airport, recognized for its horticultural features, includes gardens, a cinema, and a rooftop pool, elevating it beyond a mere transit point. These distinctive amenities encourage travelers to spend time and money at the airport, resulting in increased foot traffic to retail stores. The combination of leisure and shopping has positioned Changi as a major destination for international shoppers.
Changi's retail offerings cater to a broad range of preferences, with a particular emphasis on luxury and duty-free products. From fashion and accessories to alcohol, cosmetics, food, and jewelry, the airport provides a diverse selection of premium items. Both international visitors and residents are drawn to the duty-free shopping experience, which continues to play a crucial role in the sector's expansion. The wide variety of products ensures that Changi Airport remains a top destination for travelers seeking high-quality goods at competitive prices.
Furthermore, Singapore Airlines has enhanced the travel retail experience by extending the window for passengers to place pre-orders online prior to departure. This initiative provides travelers with greater convenience, streamlining the shopping process and ensuring access to a broader range of products before arriving at the airport. With growing tourism, innovative retail services, and an expanding array of offerings, Singapore's travel retail sector is poised for continued growth.
