TikTok Shop deepens commitment to Singapore's discovery commerce ecosystem at inaugural TikTok Shop Singapore Summit

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 August 2026 – TikTok Shop has announced a series of new capability-building initiatives designed to strengthen Singapore's discovery commerce ecosystem by equipping sellers and creators with the skills and opportunities needed to succeed in content-led commerce. As part of this commitment, TikTok Shop aims to support and train at least 1,000 local sellers by the end of 2027 and more than 3,000 creators by the end of 2026.

The announcements were made at the inaugural TikTok Shop Singapore Summit, a full-day hybrid event that brought together more than 1,500 sellers, creators, and ecosystem partners to explore how collaboration across the discovery commerce ecosystem can help businesses grow through content and LIVE selling. This comes amid strong growth on the platform, with TikTok Shop Singapore recording 1.7x year-on-year growth in Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) and 1.6x year-on-year growth in monthly buyers over the past year, reflecting the growing opportunities for sellers to scale through content-driven commerce.

"We're seeing a clear shift in how businesses grow on TikTok Shop. Success today is no longer defined simply by having a presence online or treating LIVE selling as another sales channel. The businesses achieving the strongest long-term results are those investing in capabilities — building confidence in content creation, developing in-house LIVE expertise, and working with creators in more strategic ways," said Leon Koh, Fashion Cluster Lead and Head of Seller Management at TikTok Shop Singapore. "That's why we're expanding our support beyond tools and technology to focus on capability building across our entire ecosystem. By investing in both sellers and creators, we're helping businesses of all sizes build the skills, partnerships, and confidence they need to grow sustainably in today's discovery-driven economy."

Building the next generation of creators

A strong discovery commerce ecosystem also requires a capable creator community. Complementing its investment in seller capabilities, TikTok Shop is also expanding its support for creators through programmes that help them develop specialised skills and unlock new income opportunities through discovery commerce, with the goal of supporting more than 3,000 creators by the end of 2026.

• LIVE Host Academy supports aspiring professional LIVE hosts by building the practical hosting and sales skills needed to succeed in LIVE commerce, while connecting them with sellers seeking LIVE selling talent.
• Affiliate Accelerator supports creators looking to build affiliate-led businesses through training in LIVE selling and short-form content, while providing opportunities to connect with sellers and drive product discovery through authentic recommendations.
• Short Video Programme supports emerging creators specialising in short-form content by helping them develop product storytelling skills through practical learning resources, creator manager support, and collaboration opportunities with TikTok Shop sellers.

Together, these initiatives strengthen Singapore's discovery commerce ecosystem by developing a pipeline of skilled creators while creating more opportunities for sellers and creators to collaborate through authentic, content-driven commerce. With LIVE viewership on TikTok Shop in Singapore increasing by 150% year-on-year, the programmes aim to equip more creators with the skills to meet growing consumer demand for engaging, interactive shopping experiences.

How local businesses are growing on TikTok Shop

The impact of these investments extends beyond the programmes themselves, as local businesses build new capabilities, strengthen customer relationships and unlock new growth through discovery commerce.

For Young Hungry Free (@younghungryfree), a Singapore-based fashion brand that celebrates individuality through bold collections and a community built around empowerment, TikTok Shop has become an important growth channel, helping the brand expand its reach through content-led commerce. Today, Young Hungry Free continues to leverage TikTok Shop's ecosystem of tools and resources to scale its LIVE commerce capabilities and grow its online business.

"TikTok Shop has transformed the way we connect with our customers. Beyond being a sales channel, it has enabled us to build a loyal community through authentic, content-led LIVE commerce experiences," said Winnie Ong, Founder and Creative Director of Young Hungry Free.

"As our business grew on TikTok Shop, we invested in building a dedicated in-house LIVE commerce team. What started with one full-time employee managing LIVE selling sessions alongside her existing responsibilities has since grown into a team of more than 10 dedicated members. The platform has empowered us to experiment, adapt quickly and reach new customers in ways that traditional e-commerce simply couldn't. As a homegrown Singapore brand, we're excited to continue growing alongside TikTok Shop and exploring new opportunities in discovery commerce."

While established brands like Young Hungry Free continue to scale through discovery commerce, TikTok Shop is also helping heritage businesses embrace new ways to connect with customers while staying true to what makes them unique.

For Kim's Duet (@kimsduetsg), a Singapore brand by Kim Guan Guan that reimagines traditional local coffee for modern consumers, TikTok Shop has created new opportunities for the second-generation family business to preserve its heritage while reaching a new generation of customers.

Nevin Soon, Second-Generation Coffee Manufacturer and Management Associate, said, "As a traditional coffee roastery stepping into the digital space, learning to navigate LIVE commerce was a steep learning curve for us. Through TikTok Shop's onboarding and its Growth Accelerator programme, the TikTok Shop team helped us refine our strategy, experiment with different time slots, and build a real community online. Since then, we've achieved a 42% month-on-month GMV growth in June 2026—a huge milestone for us. It reinforces our belief that, with the right tools, training, and support, traditional local brands can build strong, sustainable momentum online."

As content continues to shape how people discover and shop, TikTok Shop remains committed to strengthening Singapore's discovery commerce ecosystem by investing in the sellers, creators and partnerships that drive long-term growth.

The 45,000 sq ft Singapore flagship marks MORROW's first proof point of its globally scalable model designed to make preventive healthcare accessible to the many, rather than a luxury for the few.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 August 2026 – MORROW today opens its 45,000 sq ft Singapore flagship, introducing its model of preventive healthcare designed for the Longevity Century.

Located within Longevity World, one of the world's first shopping malls of its kind dedicated to holistic wellness and longevity, MORROW serves as the anchor of a broader ecosystem designed to make preventive healthcare more accessible and integrated into everyday life. Pairing clinical diagnostics, doctor-led medical guidance and personalised health planning from MORROW Medical, alongside movement, nutrition, recovery and coaching from MORROW, the flagship has been created to demonstrate how preventive healthcare can become part of everyday life.

Backed by US$156 million in committed investment, MORROW plans to expand to more than 10 locations across Asia, Australasia and the Middle East over the next five years, targeting more than US$230 million in annual revenue. The Singapore flagship is intended to become the blueprint for an internationally scalable model that can help make preventive healthcare more accessible around the world.

The launch comes as ageing populations place growing pressure on healthcare systems, public finances and workforce productivity. According to the McKinsey Health Institute, scaling proven preventive interventions could generate US$12.5 trillion in annual economic value by 2050, with nearly two-thirds of that impact coming from prevention.

"Prevention can no longer be viewed solely as a healthcare priority. It is becoming an economic necessity. Countries that fail to make the shift from reactive healthcare to prevention risk facing mounting healthcare costs, declining productivity and increasing pressure on public finances,"said Allen Law, Founder and CEO of MORROW.

Today's consumers have unprecedented access to diagnostics, wearables, AI tools and health information. Yet despite an explosion of health data, trusted medical guidance is still largely designed to treat illness rather than help people stay healthy.

"MORROW is not a clinic in the traditional sense, it is essentially infrastructure for preventive healthcare. The world has spent generations building healthcare systems to treat illness but the next generation of cities need to build new systems that help people stay healthy," said Law.

Set to be one of the largest preventive healthcare destinations of its kind in Asia by physical size, the 45,000 sq ft flagship places MORROW Medical's advanced diagnostics and personalised health planning next to MORROW's movement, nutrition, recovery and coaching within a model of continuous preventive care. Designed around long-term relationships, it helps members turn health insight into long-term action.

Singapore was selected as MORROW's launch market because of its world-class healthcare system, rigorous regulatory environment and national focus on prevention through initiatives such as Healthier SG. Recognised globally for its leadership in healthy ageing and exceptional longevity outcomes, Singapore provides the ideal environment to develop, refine and demonstrate a preventive healthcare model before scaling internationally.

MORROW was designed as a continuous and accessible preventive healthcare model built around medical oversight, science-backed interventions and measurable health outcomes within Singapore's regulated healthcare environment.

MORROW Medical's entry-level health assessment is designed to be within reach of Singapore's middle-income households, reflecting its belief that preventive healthcare cannot transform society if it remains a luxury for the few rather than accessible to the many.

"Healthspan shouldn't be something reserved for people with unlimited time or unlimited money. The real opportunity is making preventive healthcare accessible enough that it becomes part of everyday life,"said Law.

The Singapore flagship marks the beginning of MORROW's wider international expansion, with plans to develop more than 10 locations across Asia, Australasia and the Middle East over the next five years. Hong Kong is expected to become the next location.

The Singapore flagship located at Longevity World, 10 Coleman Street, comprises two distinct operating entities: MORROW (#02-01), which offers movement, recovery, nutrition, health coaching and lifestyle experiences, and MORROW Medical (#03-01), where healthcare services, including preventive health assessments and medical consultations, are delivered.
