Singapore’s manufacturing production surged by 13.7% yoy in August 2020, beating market consensus of a 4.6% rise and after a revised 7.6% plunge in July. It was the first yearly increase in factory output in four months, and the strongest growth since March as production rebounded sharply for production of electronics (44.2% vs -0.1% in July), mostly led by semi conductors (56.9%); biomedical manufacturing (8.4% vs -24.3%), mainly due to medical technology (19.3%); and chemicals (3.1% vs -2.4%), mainly driven by petrochemicals (7.8%). In addition, output contracted less for both transport engineering (-36.0% vs -38.8%) and general manufacturing industries (-18.6% vs -22.4%). Meanwhile, output of precision engineering continued to rise (9.4% vs 9.9%), of which machinery & systems (17.0%). On a monthly basis, production jumped by 13.9%, the most since March, far above market estimates of a 2.6% gain, and after an upwardly revised 2.3% rise in July.

Industrial Production in Singapore averaged 6.75 percent from 1984 until 2020, reaching an all time high of 58.60 percent in May of 2010 and a record low of -32.30 percent in March of 2009.
