Amazon Reduces Workforce and Discontinues Grocery Service in Singapore

Published on May 7, 2026

Amazon.com Inc. has announced significant changes to its operations in Singapore. The company previously offered grocery delivery through Amazon Fresh and employed a sizable workforce to manage local fulfillment services.

Now, Amazon is phasing out its grocery offerings in the city-state, impacting a small number of roles. The decision is part of a broader restructuring strategy aimed at optimizing operations.

According to Amazon, affected employees will receive assistance and options for transitions within the company. This is part of an effort to streamline services and focus on more profitable areas of the business.

The move has raised concerns among local workers about job security. Additionally, customers will need to seek alternative grocery solutions, disrupting their usual shopping patterns.
