Semiconductor segment sparks a brilliant 62% output growth in April

This marks its 14th consecutive month of double-digit expansion.

The electronics cluster of manufacturing output is booming, thanks to the spectacular performance of the semiconductor segment.

According to Maybank Kim Eng, the semiconductor segment reported a robust 62% increase in April, clocking in its 14th consecutive month of double-digit expansion and recording the highest level of production to date.

The rest of the electronics cluster, computer peripherals (+5.6%), consumer electronics (+4.4%) and other electronic modules (+17.7%) - grew at a faster pace than the previous month, except for data storage whose outputs declined 26.2%.

"The global demand for semiconductors remains strong, as reflected by the global PMI numbers that are still in expansion phase and the continued increase in Singapore’s electronics NODX. We think growth will continue to broaden from electronics and trade-related segments to other segments of services, bringing full year GDP growth to +3%," Maybank KimEng.

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.
