SINGAPORE, Oct 5 — Tech workers in Singapore earned a median monthly wage of S$8,000 (RM25,550) in 2025, 60 per cent higher than the overall resident median, as the country’s digital economy grew to S$144.1 billion.
The Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) said the digital economy accounted for 19.3 per cent of the republic’s gross domestic product (GDP) in 2025, up from 18.8 per cent a year earlier.
“The steady growth reflects how digital technologies continue to shape enterprises across various industries,” IMDA said in its Singapore Digital Economy (SGDE) Report 2026 released on Monday.
Tech employment grew 3.8 per cent year-on-year to 222,200 in 2025, reflecting expansion in both the Information and Communications (I&C) and non-I&C sectors, which grew 6.1 per cent to S$47.1 billion and 3.6 per cent to S$97 billion, respectively.
