Manufacturing output shrinks 6.1% in July

Output fell across most clusters.

Singapore’s manufacturing output contracted by 6.1% year-on-year in July, worse than the 4.4% year-on-year decline in June.

According to the Economic Development Board, factory output fell across all clusters except for the chemicals segment.

Electronics output continued to contract, slipping 5.8% year-on-year on back of lower production of semiconductors and computer peripherals.

The biomedical manufacturing cluster’s output declined 13.4% in July compared to a year ago. Output of the medical technology segment increased 10%, but this was offset by a contraction in the pharmaceuticals segment.

Excluding the volatile biomedical manufacturing segment, overall output fell 4.1%.

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.
