Short circuit: Semiconductors segment suffers 29.9% decline in output

And misery loves company as all segments within the electronics cluster struggled in September 2011.

According to the report released by the government, the output of the electronics cluster was 26.5% lower in September 2011 compared to the same period last year.

The Economic Development Board said:

All segments within the cluster contracted amidst the weakening global demand for electronics, with the semiconductors segment posting the largest decline (of -29.9%). For the first nine months of 2011, electronics output declined by 6.9%, compared to the same period a year ago.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
