Singapore's manufacturing output up 14.6% in September

Electronics output which surged 33.2% powered up total output.

Singapore's total manufacturing output in September rose by 14.6% YoY, bringing manufacturing growth to 18.4% in Q3.

According to the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), the electronics cluster's output surged 33% YoY, breaking the record level in December 2016.

Semiconductors, computer peripherals and other electronic modules & components segments led the growth for the cluster, whilst infocomms & consumer electronics and data storage segments' output fell.

The output of the precision engineering cluster grew 15.4% YoY in September 2017, led by a 24.5% YoY growth in the precision modules & components segment.

The chemicals clusters' output also grew by 9.5% YoY as all segments increased.

Singapore's biomedical cluster expanded by 8% thanks to pharmaceuticals and medical technology.

The output of the general manufacturing industries increased 4.3%.

Out of all the clusters, only transport engineering dragged the growth and fell by 11%. The decline was driven by land transport and marine & offshore, which offset the rise in aerospace.

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.
