The history of the development of Singaporean logistics Current status General background of the country

Regional hub for global players

Today, Singapore is a prime location for major logistics firms, with the top 25 global players conducting operations here. Most of them, like DHL and Schenker, have set up regional or global HQ functions here. We are a base for these firms to anchor major logistics and supply chain operations, specialised capabilities, and conduct innovation activities to provide new supply chain solutions.

An important pillar of the Singapore economy, the logistics sector contributed a value-add of S$6.8 billion² in 2018 and generated more than 86,300 jobs³. It connects key supply chain nodes to facilitate efficient trade flow domestically and internationally.

Preferred location

Leading manufacturers like Henkel and Infineon base their Supply Chain Control Towers and Distribution Centres in Singapore to orchestrate their regional and global supply chains. They enjoy strong support from our vibrant ecosystem of leading shippers and third-party logistics providers (3PLs), many of whom have innovation hubs here.
