Manufacturing output growth moderates to 2.2% YoY in June

Excluding biomedical manufacturing, output grew 4.2% YoY.

Singapore’s manufacturing output growth moderated to 2.2% YoY from 13.8% in May, data from the Economic Development Board (EDB) showed.

Excluding biomedical manufacturing, which dipped 9.2% YoY, the manufacturing output would have risen by 4.2% YoY.

According to the EDB, the biomedical manufacturing segment was dragged by the contraction of the pharmaceuticals segment by 24.9% YoY. The chemicals cluster likewise posted a decrease in output, declining by 11.0% YoY.

On the flip side, most clusters performed well in June, led by transport engineering with an output expansion of 32.0% YoY. Growth in the cluster was driven by double-digit increases across its marine & offshore engineering (+44.0% YoY) and aerospace segments (+32.0% YoY).

Other clusters which posted output growth were general manufacturing (10.1% YoY), precision engineering (5.6% YoY), and electronics (2.3% YoY).

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.
