Manufacturing output up 0.9% in May, boosted by biomedical production

Biomedical production jumped 13.2% last month.

Singapore's factory production was again salvaged by robust activity in the biomedical manufacturing cluster. Statistics released by the Economic Development Board (EDB) show that manufacturing output rose 0.9% year-on-year in May, boosted by a 13.2% surge in biomedical output.

Excluding biomedical manufacturing, output fell by a steep 2.3%. factory activity in nearly all other clusters—chemicals, precision engineering, general manufacturing, and transport engineering—declined on a yar-on-year basis during the month.

Meanwhile, output of the electronics cluster rose 5.9%, boosted by strong productions in semiconductors and other electronic modules and components.

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.
