Moreover, export orders for optical, photographic and cinematographic apparatus declined at a softer pace (-5% vs -10.6%).

On the other hand, growth slowed for machinery (28.3% vs 31.3%) and electrical machinery products (14.7% vs 16.7%), while orders for transport equipment slipped (-0.1% vs 6.4%).

Among major markets, export order growth remained strong, led by the US (88.9%), ASEAN countries (70.5%), and Mainland China and Hong Kong (47.7%).
