AI adoption in Singapore businesses rose from 14.7% in 2024 to 23.5% in 2025, with significant growth among both SMEs and larger companies.

Singapore's digital economy expanded from $136.5 billion in 2024 to $144.1 billion in 2025, increasing its GDP share from 18.8% to 19.3%.

The Infocomm Media Development Authority highlighted that digital technologies are increasingly shaping enterprise operations and workforce activities across industries.

SINGAPORE - Adoption of artificial intelligence among all enterprises in Singapore has risen, with over one in five businesses here using the technology in 2025, even as the country’s digital economy grew to over $144 billion and accounted for a larger share of the nation’s gross domestic product.

Correspondingly, tech employment grew 3.8 per cent year-on-year to 222,200 in 2025, with the fastest-growing roles in AI, data and cybersecurity, according to the l atest figures from the Singapore Digital Economy Report.

Released by the Infocomm Media Development Authority on Oct 5, the report showed that adoption of AI among all enterprises rose from 14.7 per cent in 2024 to 23.5 per cent in 2025.

Specifically, AI adoption among small- and medium-sized enterprises rose from 14.5 per cent to 23.4 per cent while adoption among larger businesses jumped from 62.5 per cent to 70.4 per cent over the same period.

This is even as Singapore’s digital economy grew from $136.5 billion in 2024 to $144.1 billion in 2025, with its contribution to the nation’s GDP rising from 18.8 per cent to 19.3 per cent year-on-year.

IMDA said that the steady growth of the digital economy “reflects that digital technologies continue to shape how all enterprises across various industries operate, and how workers do their jobs”.

The report calculates the digital economy based on two components.

The first is the value-add or economic contribution of the information and communications (I&C) sector, which comprises digital services typically associated with the tech industry like telecommunications, computing and software. The second is the value-add that non-I&C industries have derived from embracing digital technologies and solutions.

新加坡企业采用人工智能的比例从 2024 年的 14.7% 上升到 2025 年的 23.5%，中小企业和大型企业均实现了显著增长。

新加坡的数字经济规模从 2024 年的 1365 亿美元增长到 2025 年的 1441 亿美元，占 GDP 的比重从 18.8% 增长到 19.3%。

新加坡资讯通信媒体发展局强调，数字技术正日益影响着各行各业的企业运营和员工活动。

新加坡——新加坡所有企业对人工智能的采用率都在上升，预计到 2025 年，超过五分之一的企业将使用这项技术。与此同时，新加坡的数字经济已增长到超过 1440 亿美元，占该国国内生产总值的比重也越来越大。

根据新加坡数字经济报告的最新数据，相应地，到 2025 年，科技行业的就业人数同比增长 3.8%，达到 222,200 人，其中人工智能、数据和网络安全领域的就业增长速度最快。

该报告由新加坡资讯通信媒体发展局于 10 月 5 日发布，显示所有企业采用人工智能的比例将从 2024 年的 14.7% 上升到 2025 年的 23.5%。

具体而言，同期中小企业采用人工智能的比例从 14.5% 上升到 23.4%，而大型企业的采用率则从 62.5% 跃升至 70.4%。

即便如此，新加坡的数字经济规模仍从 2024 年的 1365 亿美元增长到 2025 年的 1441 亿美元，其对国家 GDP 的贡献率也从 18.8% 逐年上升至 19.3%。

新加坡资讯通信媒体发展局 (IMDA) 表示，数字经济的稳步增长“反映出数字技术正在不断塑造各行各业所有企业的运营方式以及员工的工作方式”。

该报告根据两个组成部分来计算数字经济。

第一点是信息与通信（I&C）行业的增值或经济贡献，该行业通常包括与科技行业相关的数字服务，例如电信、计算和软件。第二点是非信息与通信行业通过采用数字技术和解决方案所获得的增值。
