Chart of the day: Industrial production up 13% YoY in April

This is attributed to the biomedical manufacturing cluster.

This chart from UOB shows that the industrial production in Singapore surged 13% YoY in April. This is said to be attributed to the strong biomedical manufacturing cluster which grew 100.5% YoY.

Meanwhile, the decline in tourist arrivals, lockdowns seen in Singapore’s key trading partners and the fall in oil prices led to the contraction in the clusters of transport engineering, which plunged 24.1% YoY, chemicals which slid 6.8% YoY, and general manufacturing which contracted 20.2% YoY.

Excluding the biomedical manufacturing cluster, industrial production is down by 3.5% due to the aforementioned factors.

Looking forward, UOB expects pharmaceutical production and exports to be a boon for Singapore’s overall manufacturing and trade environment.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
