Average mobile data usage per month in Singapore Q1 2021-Q4 2024

Mobile data usage in Singapore reached an average of around 96 petabytes (96,000 terabytes) per month during the fourth quarter of 2024. Despite the expansion of public Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), mobile data use remained on the rise during the observed period. 

Data pricing trend in Singapore

Singapore has always had one of the most expensive data prices in Southeast Asia. However, new technologies such as 5G, as well as the competitive telecommunications market, led to price reductions over the past few years. In 2023, one gigabyte of mobile data cost around 0.63 U.S. dollars on average, indicating a decrease of more than two dollars compared to 2019. Despite the foreseeable trend of decreasing data prices, it would still remain relatively high compared to neighboring Indonesia's 0.28 U.S. dollars per gigabyte.

Singapore’s mobile data providers

The telecommunications market in Singapore is shared by three main providers, Singtel, Starhub and M1. Among the leading providers in the country, Singtel had the best 5G coverage experience, as of December 2024.
