Manufacturing output jumps 13.1% in June

Thanks to the stellar performance from electronics and biomed segments.

The volatile biomedical manufacturing reported a strong performance in the month of June, boosting overall manufacturing output to 13.1%.

According to the latest figures by the Singapore Economic Development Board, the electronics cluster’s output increased 25.5% in June 2017. Compared to the same month last year, on the other hand, the biomedical manufacturing cluster’s output grew 18.3%.

The chemicals cluster’s output increased 9.4% on a year-on-year basis in the said month, with all segments registering output growth.

It was also positive for the precision engineering and the transport engineering clusters, growing 5.3% and 4.6% respectively.

Out of all the segments, only the general manufacturing industries reported a decline in output, down 5.3%.

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.
