Manufacturing sector expands by 10.1% in 2017

It pushes 5.7% growth in the goods producing industries.

The manufacturing sector grew by 10.1% for the whole year of 2017, which pushed the 5.7% growth in the goods producing industries.

For the fourth quarter of 2017, manufacturing sector registered a 4.8% year-on-year increase driven by growth in the electronics and precision engineering clusters.

Transport engineering and biomedical manufacturing clusters contracted as a result of poor performance from the marine & offshore engineering segment, as well as lower production of active pharmaceutical ingredients and biological products, respectively.

Despite this, the Ministry of Trade and Industry is expecting continued growth in the manufacturing sector which will push the overall economy growth of Singapore in 2018.

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.
