Reported information
Singapore manufacturing growth slows to 3.4% in September
Economic Development Board figures released on 26 October 2026 show Singapore’s manufacturing output rose 3.4% year on year in September, down from 15.4% growth in August.
Excluding biomedical manufacturing, annual growth was 9%, after 16.8% in August. Biomedical output fell 32.8%, weighing on the overall figure.
In EDB’s breakdown reported by AsiaOne, precision engineering grew 31% and electronics 5.7%. Slower annual growth therefore does not mean every industry contracted. The figures concern factory output, rather than growth across the entire economy.
