Biomedical segment lifts Singapore’s manufacturing output in September

Excluding the segment, overall output would have decreased by 7.6% MoM.

Singapore’s manufacturing output rose by 9.8 YoY in September, EDB Singapore revealed.

On a sequential basis, manufacturing output in September remained largely unchanged from August.

Excluding biomedical manufacturing, which recorded a 62.0% YoY expansion, manufacturing output in September would have increased by only 4.5% YoY and decreased by 7.6% MoM.

All other sectors saw increases in output, except transport engineering, which recorded a 1.9% YoY contraction, driven by declines in aerospace (2.9% YoY) and marine & offshore engineering (9.8% YoY) segments.

The outputs of Precision Engineering, General Manufacturing, Chemicals, and Electronics improved in September by 14.7% YoY, 8.1% YoY, 3.4% YoY, and 1.9% YoY, respectively.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
