Electronics output surged 37.7% in March.

Singapore's manufacturing output continued its winning streak in March, up 10.2% compared to last year.

This is the same growth it registered during the previous month. Excluding the volatile biomedical manufacturing, output grew 12.4%.

Four of the six clusters registered strong growth for the said month with electronics leading the pack at 37.7%. Precision engineering came in second with a 12.8% growth. The third stellar performer is the chemicals segment, which expanded 3.5% in terms of output. The biomedical manufacturing registered a 2% growth.

Only general manufacturing and transport engineering reported declines, at 5.1% and 15.6%, respectively.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
