Singapore's digital economy accounted for over 19 per cent, or about $144.1 billion, of the Republic's gross domestic product (GDP) in 2025.

Singapore's digital economy accounted for over 19 per cent, or about $144.1 billion, of the Republic's gross domestic product (GDP) in 2025.
Meanwhile, the number of tech jobs rose 3.8 per cent year on year to 222,200 in 2025, the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) reported.
In the fourth edition of its Singapore Digital Economy Report released on Monday (Oct 5), IMDA said the digital economy grew by $7.6 billion last year, accounting for 19.3 per cent of the country's GDP.
This was an increase from the $136.5 billion in 2024, which made up about 18.8 per cent of the GDP then.
The authority said it used two components to calculate the digital economy:
The value-add or economic contribution of the information and communications sector.
The value add from digitalisation in the rest of the economy.
Most of the growth — around two-thirds, or 13 per cent of GDP — came from digitalisation in non-tech sectors rather than from tech firms, while the information and communications sector (I&C) accounted for the remaining one-third, or 6.3 per cent of GDP.
IMDA said this shows that digital growth was driven by broader digitalisation efforts across all industries, and not just by tech companies.
Similar to last year, the finance and insurance sector remained the largest contributor to growth ($39.1 billion), followed by wholesale trade ($29.3 billion) and manufacturing ($10.4 billion).
Growing demand for tech professionals, increase in wages
Last year, both small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and non-SMEs made progress in digital adoption, with 96.4 per cent of firms here adopting at least one of six digital areas, namely, cybersecurity, cloud, e-payment, e-commerce, data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI).
AI adoption among firms grew steadily to 23.5 per cent across all enterprises in 2025, up from the 14.7 per cent in 2024.
Alongside the growth in adoption, its usage has also become more widespread among workers, with 85.7 per cent of workers surveyed reporting that they used AI tools at work in 2026.
This marks a nearly 8 per cent increase from usage rates in 2025.
The top three perceived benefits cited by workers are: productivity (72.9 per cent), quality of work (68.9 per cent), and ability to solve problems (68.2 per cent).
Tech workforce grows to 222,200
Demand for tech professionals in Singapore also grew, in line with the continued digitalisation of the economy, data showed.
In 2025, the number of tech professionals grew from 214,000 to 222,200, or about 5.4 per cent of total employment in Singapore.
The report noted that the non-tech sector accounted for the 59 per cent of all tech professionals
Their median monthly wage also grew from $7.950 in 2024, to $8,000 in 2025. This is higher than the overall resident median monthly wage of $5,000.
IMDA noted that rapid advances in AI and other emerging digital technologies will present new opportunities to grow Singapore's digital economy.
"IMDA will continue to work closely with government agencies, industry partners and the workforce to deepen enterprise capabilities, support workforce transformation and foster innovation, strengthening Singapore’s position as a leading digital economy," it said.
到 2025 年，新加坡的数字经济将占该国国内生产总值 (GDP) 的 19% 以上，约合 1441 亿美元。
与此同时，新加坡资讯通信媒体发展局（IMDA）报告称，到2025年，科技行业就业岗位数量将同比增长3.8%，达到222,200个。
新加坡资讯通信媒体发展局（IMDA）周一（10月5日）发布的第四版《新加坡数字经济报告》显示，去年新加坡数字经济增长了76亿美元，占该国GDP的19.3%。
这比 2024 年的 1365 亿美元有所增加，当时约占 GDP 的 18.8%。
该机构表示，它使用两个组成部分来计算数字经济：
信息和通信行业的附加值或经济贡献。
数字化为其他经济领域带来的附加值。
大部分增长（约占 GDP 的三分之二，即 13%）来自非技术行业的数字化，而不是来自技术公司，而信息和通信行业 (I&C) 占剩余的三分之一，即 6.3% 的 GDP。
新加坡资讯通信媒体发展局 (IMDA) 表示，这表明数字增长是由所有行业的更广泛的数字化努力推动的，而不仅仅是科技公司。
与去年类似，金融和保险业仍然是增长的最大贡献者（391亿美元），其次是批发贸易（293亿美元）和制造业（104亿美元）。
对科技专业人才的需求不断增长，工资也在上涨
去年，中小企业和非中小企业在数字化应用方面都取得了进展，96.4% 的企业至少采用了六个数字化领域中的一个，即网络安全、云计算、电子支付、电子商务、数据分析和人工智能 (AI)。
预计到 2025 年，企业采用人工智能的比例将稳步增长至 23.5%，高于 2024 年的 14.7%。
随着人工智能技术的普及，其应用也越来越广泛，在接受调查的员工中，85.7% 的人表示他们在 2026 年会在工作中使用人工智能工具。
这比 2025 年的使用率增长了近 8%。
员工认为最重要的三项福利是：生产力（72.9%）、工作质量（68.9%）和解决问题的能力（68.2%）。
科技行业从业人员增至222,200人
数据显示，随着新加坡经济的持续数字化，对科技专业人才的需求也随之增长。
到 2025 年，新加坡科技专业人员的数量从 214,000 人增长到 222,200 人，约占新加坡总就业人数的 5.4%。
报告指出，非科技行业从业人员占所有科技专业人员的59%。
他们的月工资中位数也从 2024 年的 7950 美元增长到 2025 年的 8000 美元。这高于居民整体的月工资中位数 5000 美元。
新加坡资讯通信媒体发展局指出，人工智能和其他新兴数字技术的快速发展将为新加坡数字经济的增长带来新的机遇。
“新加坡资讯通信媒体发展局（IMDA）将继续与政府机构、行业伙伴和劳动者紧密合作，深化企业能力，支持劳动力转型，促进创新，从而巩固新加坡作为领先数字经济体的地位。”该机构表示。
