Food and Beverage Industry in Singapore: Top Tradeshows 2024

Statista reports that the F&B industry is poised to reach a value of 11.96 billion USD in 2023, with a CAGR of 4.56% until 2028. This growth is propelled by various factors, including the expansion of the middle class with increased disposable income, a diverse and prosperous population displaying a penchant for unique and exotic flavours, and a flourishing tourism sector.
