Electronics production surges 49.1% in July

Semiconductor production reached a new record high.

Singapore's electronics sector continues to spark higher industrial production (IP) after it reported a 49.1% growth rate in July.

According to Maybank, this was led by growth in the Semiconductors subsector that hit its record high and marked the 17th month of two-digit expansion. It contributed 62% to total Electronics output.

Computer and Peripherals manufacturing grew 18.9%, whilst that of Consumer Electronics rose by 5.1%.

On the downside, Data Storage and Other Electronic Components output contracted by 27.2% and 5.2%, respectively.

Precision engineering production also increased 21.8%. Production of its Machinery & Systems segment grew 25.4%, backed by demand for semiconductor-related equipment.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
