Factory output gets a boost from electronics, grows 10.2%

Electronics output surged 37.7% in March.

Singapore's manufacturing output continued its winning streak in March, up 10.2% compared to last year.

This is the same growth it registered during the previous month. Excluding the volatile biomedical manufacturing, output grew 12.4%.

Four of the six clusters registered strong growth for the said month with electronics leading the pack at 37.7%. Precision engineering came in second with a 12.8% growth. The third stellar performer is the chemicals segment, which expanded 3.5% in terms of output. The biomedical manufacturing registered a 2% growth.

Only general manufacturing and transport engineering reported declines, at 5.1% and 15.6%, 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.
