Manufacturing output shrinks 6.1% in July

Output fell across most clusters.

Singapore’s manufacturing output contracted by 6.1% year-on-year in July, worse than the 4.4% year-on-year decline in June.

According to the Economic Development Board, factory output fell across all clusters except for the chemicals segment.

Electronics output continued to contract, slipping 5.8% year-on-year on back of lower production of semiconductors and computer peripherals.

The biomedical manufacturing cluster’s output declined 13.4% in July compared to a year ago. Output of the medical technology segment increased 10%, but this was offset by a contraction in the pharmaceuticals segment.

Excluding the volatile biomedical manufacturing segment, overall output fell 4.1%.

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.
