Earlier Report Observations

The cabbage market in Singapore expanded from 63 418 tons in 2018 to 66 380 tons in 2020. This growth was supported by rising consumer preference for locally grown vegetables and the development of urban agriculture, which heightened demand for fresh produce. The shift toward online grocery shopping in 2019 improved market access and distribution, while a surge in interest for conscious consumption and plant-based diets in 2020 further increased vegetable consumption, including cabbages.

Market volume then contracted to 60 884 tons by 2022 before recovering to 63 681 tons in 2023. These movements reflected adjustments in supply and demand without specific disruptive events reported during these years.

In 2024, strong trends toward plant-based eating driven by health and sustainability concerns continued to shape consumer preferences, while the food and beverage sector faced challenges such as rising operational costs and increased competition, influencing overall market dynamics.
