Manufacturing output increased 51% in April 2010

The said year-on-year increase was driven by 95.8% surge in output of the biomedical manufacturing cluster.

According to the Economic Development Board (EDB), the growth seen by the biomedical manufacturing cluster was attributed to the 101.7% rise in the pharmaceuticals segment. The cluster next in line in terms of growth was the electronics cluster, with output increase of 60% in April 2010 on a year-on-year basis.

The EDB report said, "The semiconductors segment posted strong growth of 97.8% as global demand for electronics remained strong. The other electronic modules & components, infocomms & consumer electronics and computer peripherals segments also recorded output growth of 34.1%, 8.7% and 7.5% respectively."

Other clusters that saw year-on-year increase in manufacturing output were the precision engineering cluster (56.2%), the chemicals cluster (24.8%), and the general manufacturing cluster (17%).

There was decline, however, in the marine & offshore segment (39.3%) while the transport engineering cluster’s output dropped 23.2% in April 2010 on a year-on-year basis.

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.
