Singapore Freight And Logistics - Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends & Statistics, Growth Forecasts (2025 - 2030)

The Singapore freight and logistics market size is valued at USD 24.53 billion in 2025 and is forecast to reach USD 33.33 billion by 2030, reflecting a 6.32% CAGR through the period.

Robust throughput at PSA's terminals, a 50% uplift in Changi's planned cargo capacity, and steady policy support for digital adoption anchor this momentum. Cold-chain projects, 5G-enabled port operations, and direct long-haul freighter lanes are steering the Singapore freight and logistics market toward higher-value, time-critical flows. Manufacturers relocating some production from China to ASEAN now route an increasing share of high-tech and pharmaceutical cargo through the city-state, drawn by fully automated yard equipment and near-instant customs clearance. Competition from Malaysian ports is heightening, yet Singapore offsets cost disadvantages with superior reliability, visibility, and multimodal speed.

Singapore Freight And Logistics Market Trends and Insights

Tuas Mega-Port Capacity Expansion Transforms Regional Container Flows

Phase 1 went live in 2022 and pushed aggregate throughput past 40 million TEUs in 2024, while automated cranes and autonomous vehicles cut berth times by 25%. The SGD 20 billion (USD 15.15 billion) build-out ultimately elevates capacity to 65 million TEUs, ensuring the Singapore freight and logistics market stays ahead of lower-cost Malaysian alternatives.

Digital Plan 2.0 Accelerates Cold-Chain and Automation Investments

Government co-funding drives IoT sensors, blockchain tracing, and robotic picking. DHL's EUR 500 million (USD 551.82 million) pharma hub integrates real-time temperature control across 8,200 m2, illustrating how digitization captures premium life-science flows.

Industrial Land Cost Inflation Pressures Operator Profitability

Average JTC rentals reached SGD 16-45 (USD 12.12- 34.08) per m2 per month in 2024, squeezing smaller forwarders. Many relocate overflow storage to Johor while retaining Singapore for high-velocity cargo. Larger operators leverage automation to lift space productivity and offset rent hikes, sustaining presence in the Singapore freight and logistics market.

Segment Analysis

Wholesale and retail trade represented 30.82% of 2024 turnover, a testament to Singapore's heritage as a distribution entrepot. Manufacturing, led by pharmaceuticals and aerospace, will outpace all other segments at 6.83% CAGR between 2025-2030, shifting focus toward validated cold-chain, time-critical services and boosting the Singapore freight and logistics market.

Construction logistics stays buoyant on ASEAN infrastructure builds, while agriculture, fishing, and forestry flows rely on Singapore's stringent food-safety regime. Oil and gas volumes are steady, benefiting from the city-state's role as a bunkering hub.

Freight transport generated 61.33% of 2024 revenue, cementing its place at the core of the Singapore freight and logistics market. Sea and inland waterways lifted significant segment revenue, while air freight booked a 7.13% CAGR between 2025-2030, thanks to semiconductor and vaccine movements. Road freight handled 130.27 million tons in 2024 but remains constrained by land scarcity. Pipelines moved 97.36 million tons of petrochemicals, a steady yet mature niche.

Courier, Express, and Parcel (CEP) is gathering speed, advancing 7.27% CAGR (2025-2030) as cross-border e-commerce demands next-day transit across ASEAN. Warehousing revenues stay resilient, but temperature-controlled space is growing twice as fast as ambient sheds. Freight forwarding thrives on customs speed; air forwarding in particular, benefits from direct Singapore-US freighter links that cut lead times by one full day. Together, these shifts illustrate how the Singapore freight and logistics market is evolving from pure transshipment to an integrated digital supply-chain platform.
