Market Trends of Singapore Travel Retail Industry
Tourist Arrivals in Singapore is Driving the Market
Singapore remains an ideal location for leisure and business travel, meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions. Asian visitors continued to constitute a significant proportion of visitor arrivals to Singapore. Singapore Changi Airport, on the other hand, offers a more horticultural airport experience, boasting a sunflower and water lily garden as well as a cinema and rooftop pool. Visitor arrivals continued to increase as Singapore remains an attractive destination to both leisure and corporate travelers. Singapore Airlines recently increased the amount of time in which passengers can place pre-orders online prior to departure. International travelers have access to a variety of products including fashion and accessories, alcohol, fragrances and cosmetics, food and confectionery, tobacco, and jewelry and watches. Duty-free and travel retail products are purchased by locals and visitors alike when leaving or arriving in a country.
International Consumer Spending is Driving the Travel Retail Market
Consumer spending is driving the Singapore travel retail market. Some of the leading companies are expanding their businesses by opening their outlets at the airport with an exclusive and wide range of fragrances and skincare products. This is because billions of people travel internationally every year and spend money and time at airports. Travelers get a lot of free time at the airport to browse and buy products. In addition, travel retail creates more visibility for their products, which draws the attention of new customers and increases the brand loyalty of existing customers. Passengers traveling over distances mostly prefer wines & spirits. Also, the growth in the culture of owning luxurious goods and consumption of expensive wines & other products are driving the growth of the market.
