An Active Mobile Market
Content delivery in Singapore is both challenging and rewarding. Currently, Singapore has over 5 million internet users with 80% internet penetration. With over 8 million active mobile contracts, the average Singaporean is said to have approximately 2 active mobile contracts each. The economy itself is growing steadily, although deemed unpredictable. Given that the population is also using their devices for various activities, such as mobile banking (33%), watching videos (34%), and using social media apps (32%), the need to focus on optimizing content delivery for mobile devices is evident.

A Mobile-First Approach to Content Optimization
Given the current and increasing importance of mobile content delivery in Singapore, international companies, such as McDonalds, Spotify, and DBS Mobile Banking have adopted a mobile-first philosophy towards their website content. Mobile applications are also used as a primary content delivery method for on-the-go consumers. Optimizing the mobile experience for end-users is key to a successful content delivery strategy.
