Singapore Macroeconomic Overview
Vehicle population in Singapore’s automotive sector has remained tightly regulated, with zero annual growth for private cars since February 2018, aside from a modest 0.25 % allowed for goods vehicles and buses. This constraint reflects planning measures due to land limitations.
Electric vehicle (EV) penetration in the automotive fleet has risen sharply, from just 1,120 in 2019 to 26,225 in 2024, while hybrid vehicles now constitute approximately 15.3 % of the total car population, up from 5.8 % in 2019.
Broader economic context indicates Singapore’s GDP grew by 4.8 % in 2025, with sectors linked to transport and wholesale trade—including automotive-related trade—expanding, though retail trade saw some contraction in non-vehicle sales.
