Lifestyle Products and Services

The cosmopolitan character of Singapore’s retail sector can capitalise on this positive growth by adapting to a globally competitive retail landscape and differentiating customer experience and product offerings for an increasingly technologically-savvy and sophisticated customer. In the fast-paced and ever-changing retail environment in Singapore, retailers are constantly challenged by intense international competition in a small domestic market, high rentals and manpower constraints to enhance their operating efficiency and new markets access. With Singapore boasting one of the highest internet penetration rates in the world, resourceful and innovative retailers have seized the opportunity to identify new growth and re-invent their business model and expansion through internet-retailing and process re-design of their traditional distribution and supply chain solutions. This drive for productivity is a critical step towards preparing the retail sector from future challenges and to take it to new heights.
