18,742 new companies registered last quarter
What sectors they’re registering into, how the volume trends month-over-month, and where Emerhub fits in the picture for foreign-owned holdcos. Source: SSICdata · updated May 2026.
Most-registered 5-digit SSIC classes
Singapore companies register under a specific 5-digit SSIC 2025 class — that’s the meaningful unit, not the broad single-letter section. Holding-company activity (64200) is the most useful proxy for foreign-owned holdco volume.
How this data works
Where does the data come from?
Our sister site SSICdata (https://ssicdata.com) ingests the public ACRA bulk data feed and classifies each company under SSIC 2025. The numbers shown above are a snapshot taken when this page was last built — for live data, visit SSICdata directly.
How current is the snapshot?
Last refreshed May 2026. We sync manually rather than at runtime to keep Emerhub.com fast and resilient — the data doesn't shift fast enough to need minute-level freshness.
What counts as a "new company registration"?
Any local-incorporation ACRA filing with status "Live" at the snapshot date. Excludes branch registrations of foreign companies and exclude entities that were struck off before the snapshot.
Why is this relevant to me as a foreign founder?
Two reasons. (1) Sector volumes tell you how competitive your space is locally — useful when planning hiring, banking, and accountant relationships. (2) Sectors with high foreign-owned share have more developed support infrastructure (banks comfortable onboarding, accountants familiar with foreign-parent structures, etc.).
