The Singapore freight & logistics market is expected to reach a market value of USD 114.81 billion by 2023. Singapore has developed into a major transshipment hub for the Asian region, boasting well-developed port infrastructure and strong container shipping connections. In terms of liner connectivity, the country is ranked second, globally, with a score of 122.7, after China (167.5). The well-developed and strong port connections have ensured that it plays a premier global role, with Singapore the world number one, in terms of container throughput, prior to 2010 when Shanghai overtook the country. Singapore is seeking to reclaim its number-one position with the facility hoping to attract new customers and retain existing clients by cutting port fees.

Singapore is a major international trading hub due to its centralized position in Southeast Asia. The country is positioned as a global transshipment hub. As such, the logistics industry is expected to grow over the forecast period with continued higher contribution of logistics sector to the overall GDP of the country. Singapore Changi Airport had recorded a strong performance in 2016, with air freight throughput increasing by 6.3% to reach a new high of 1.97 million metric ton. In terms of airfreight throughput, growth was recorded across imports, exports, and transshipments. Perishables and pharmaceuticals were segments that performed well, contributing a significant portion of Changi’s total cargo throughput.
The top five country markets for air freight were China, Australia, Hong Kong, the United States, and India. To strengthen its pharmaceutical cargo handling capabilities, Changi Airport formed a community of cargo partners to undergo the attainment of International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) Centre of Excellence for Independent Validators on Pharmaceutical Handling (CEIV Pharma) certification. In October 2016, the DHL Express South Asia Hub, a 24-hour express hub facility located within Changi Airfreight Centre, was officially opened. This has tripled DHL Express’ cargo handling facility in Singapore and allows shipments to be processed six times faster. Together with SATS’ upcoming e-commerce AirHub expected to open later this year, these developments will boost Changi’s position as a leading air cargo hub in Asia.
