The same report, which surveyed over 1,000 respondents, also found that Singaporeans will likely make at least one purchase a month, mainly due to pricing and sales discounts of up to 50%.

Other key drivers for online shopping are product quality (15%) and trustworthiness (11%). 

This comes as Singaporeans remain relatively conservative in their holiday shopping due to the current global economic condition. 

In line with this, the Amazon survey found that 57% of shoppers say they will spend less or buy cheaper brands. 

“This highlights the need for retailers to look at helping to mitigate consumers’ fear of inflation and offer budget-friendly options for customers,” the report read in part.
