COVID-19 Scenario   

  • The COVID-19 pandemic had a notable impact on the Singapore remittance market size. Initially, the market experienced a decline in transaction volumes as travel restrictions, lockdowns, and economic uncertainties led to reduced cross-border movements and a decrease in remittances from foreign workers and expatriates.  
  • Many overseas workers faced job losses or reduced incomes, affecting their ability to send money home. This resulted in a temporary contraction of the remittance market   

The outward remittance segment to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period   

Based on the type, the outward remittance segment held the highest market share in 2022, accounting for more than four fifths of the Singapore remittance market revenue by volume and is estimated to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period, this was attributed to the fact that outward remittance allows sender to quickly remit money if their friend or family abroad needs it urgently. International remittances are done on a secure banking network, limiting chances of fraud and financial harm to sender and recipient. However, the inward remittance segment is projected to manifest the highest CAGR of 8.7% from 2023 to 2032, owing to Singapore's strong position as a global financial hub, attracting foreign investment and talent. As more international companies and professionals relocate to Singapore, there is an increased flow of funds into the country. In addition, government initiatives and policies aimed at facilitating cross-border transactions are expected to further accelerate the growth of the inward remittance segment.

However, the money transfer operator segment is projected to manifest the highest CAGR of 7.3% from 2022 to 2032. This is attributed to the increase in attractiveness of digital remittance services as number of digital-only players such as WorldRemit, Xoom, Transfer Wise, and InstaReM enable direct money transfers sent from and received through mobile wallets held on personal devices that fuel growth of the market.  

The consumption segment to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period    

Based on application, the consumption segment held the highest market share in 2022, accounting for nearly three-fifths of the Singapore remittance market revenue, this is attributed to the fact that more money is remitted every month by the workers to their home country for food, clothing, and other expenditures, which drives the home economy. In addition, remittances are being used by many struggling families in developing countries for basic needs such as food, sanitation, clothing, and energy for cooking. However, the investment segment is projected to manifest the highest CAGR of 7.7% from 2022 to 2032.

However, the Business-to-Business (B2B) segment is projected to manifest the highest CAGR of 7.4% from 2022 to 2032.

Based on end user, the migrant labor workforce segment held the highest market share in 2022, accounting for more than two-fifths of the Singapore remittance market revenue. Growth in job opportunities in Singapore is attracting many blue collar and white collar migrant labors to the country as it offers them good payment and provides a better standard of living. Moreover, a large number of labors from developing countries such as India, Vietnam, and Pakistan travel to Singapore for jobs. However, the low-income households segment is projected to manifest the highest CAGR of 7.5% from 2022 to 2032. This is attributed to the fact that Low-income households in Singapore often send their family members to work outside the country to make a living.
