Boosted by output of electronic goods, Singapore’s industrial output posted solid gains in March, reported the Economic Development Board (EDB) on Monday. <\/p>\n

However, Singapore’s chemical output declined in March, due to oil shortages. <\/p>\n

The city-state’s total manufacturing output rose 10.1% on year in March, and excluding the volatile biomedical category, rose by 13.5% on year, reported the EDB. <\/p>\n

On a seasonally adjusted basis, Singapore’s manufacturing output increased 4.7% in March from February. <\/p>\n

“All (manufacturing) clusters recorded output growth on a year-on-year basis in March 2026, except biomedical manufacturing and chemicals,” said the EDB.<\/p>\n

Singapore’s output of electronic goods grew by 30% on year in March, on the strength of demand for consumer electronics and semiconductors, said the agency. <\/p>\n

The production of precision engineering goods rose 14% on year in March, while general manufacturing production rose by grew 7.6%, according to the EDB. <\/p>\n

In contrast, biomedical goods output declined 14.3% on year in March due to “softer demand for medical devices and a different production mix of active pharmaceutical ingredients,” said officials. <\/p>\n

Chemical production declined 16.0%, “due to disruptions in feedstock supply,” noted the EDB, a reference to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. <\/p>\n

Until recently, more than two-thirds of imported Singapore crude arrived from the Persian Gulf, reported the Observatory of Economic Complexity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MT Newswires -Shutterstock Boosted by output of electronic goods, Singapore’s industrial output posted solid gains in March, reported…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":414074,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[114,195518,184,195519,195520,85,146858,46,194333,2252],"class_list":["post-414073","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-economy","tag-business","tag-economic-development-board","tag-economy","tag-edb","tag-electronic-goods","tag-il","tag-industrial-output","tag-israel","tag-output-growth","tag-singapore"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/414073","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=414073"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/414073\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/414074"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=414073"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=414073"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=414073"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
