Singapore (VNA) – Vietnamese seafood continues to hold a firm position in the Singaporean market, with key products retaining a leading share in this highly demanding market.

Data from Singapore’s Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority showed that in the first nine months of 2025, seafood imports from Vietnam reached 88.6 million SGD (68.2 million USD), up 14.5% year-on-year and accounting for 10.2% of Singapore’s total seafood import value. Vietnam remained the third-largest seafood supplier to Singapore, after Malaysia and Indonesia.

Among Vietnamese seafood categories, frozen and chilled fish fillets and meat recorded the highest import value, reaching 45.4 million SGD – an 8.1% increase from the same period in 2024 and representing 30.3% of total imports. Vietnamese products in this category continue to dominate the Singaporean market.

Other notable export groups include processed and unprocessed crustaceans and molluscs, with respective import values of 20 million SGD and 10.1 million SGD, up 22.7% and 99.3% year-on-year.

The Vietnam Trade Office in Singapore assessed that with Singapore’s seafood import market remaining stable, Vietnam is likely to sustain its strong position in frozen and chilled fish fillets and meat. However, for crustaceans and molluscs, Vietnamese exporters will continue to face stiff competition not only from Malaysia and Indonesia but also from China, Japan and India.

According to the Authority, total seafood imports reached 870 million SGD in the first nine months of 2025, rising 3.7% compared to the same period last year./.
