ABOUT THE SBPA
About SBPA
History The concept of a book publishers association was first mooted at a workshop on “Book Publishing and Distribution” held in Singapore in 1966. It was not until 19 July 1968 that the Singapore Book Publishers Association was formally incorporated with 22 member companies, 14 of which were of Singapore origin. Practically all of the original members were engaged in the publishing, importation and distribution of textbooks. The changing composition of today’s membership reflects the industry’s broadening scope as content developers across media.

ABOUT THE SBPA
Main Activities The members of the association are engaged in the following areas of business:
01
Publishing and distribution of educational books, general and scholarly works, audiovisual materials and electronic publications.
02
Exploring the development of e-content for new media on new platforms.
03
Importation and distribution of books.

Co-publishing, translations and joint venture arrangements with international publishers for regional and export markets.

Singapore’s strategic geographical position and the efficiency of its work-force together with modern banking and transportation facilities have made the Republic an ideal centre for investment in publishing and printing. New technologies and facilities have enabled Singapore to print and distribute magazines and books globally. The SBPA continues to work closely with various local and international strategic partners to achieve its goals and objectives, and be much involved in Singapore’s development into an international media hub. The association also participates in regional book fairs and organises events such as the Singapore National Pavilion at the Frankfurt Book Fair and Beijing International Book Fair. Our strategic partners include Enterprise Singapore (ESG), Info-communications Media Development Authority (IMDA), National Arts Council (NAC) and National Library Board (NLB). Affiliates The association’s involvement in the ASEAN Book Publishers Association (ABPA) facilitates cooperation and co-publishing between SBPA members and their ASEAN counterparts, and members’ entry into regional markets. The association also represents Singapore at the Asia Pacific Publishers Association (APPA).
