Singapore demographic and economic trends
Overview
Singapore has experienced growth in both its population and digital economy. As of June 2026, the total population reached 6.21 million, a 1.6% increase from the previous year. This growth was primarily driven by a 3.7% rise in the non-resident population, largely due to work permit holders in the construction sector supporting major infrastructure projects. While the citizen population grew by 0.7%, demographic data from 2025 showed declines in citizen marriages and births, with the resident total fertility rate dropping to 0.87.
In the economic sector, Singapore’s digital economy reached S$144.1 billion in 2025, representing 19.3% of the nation’s GDP. The tech workforce expanded by 3.8% to 222,200 professionals, with 59% of these roles located in non-tech industries such as finance and manufacturing. Rapid growth was noted in artificial intelligence, data, and cybersecurity occupations, with tech roles commanding a median monthly wage of S$8,000.
