The industrial sector in Singapore has reported another significant downturn, as the latest figures reveal a worrying trend for December 2025. Industrial production plummeted by 13.3% compared to the previous month of November 2025, where it had already shrunk by 7.8%. Released on January 26, 2026, these numbers highlight a disconcerting decline that poses challenges for the nation’s manufacturing sector.
In the context of month-over-month comparisons, this substantial decrease marks a continuation of the downward trajectory seen in the industrial landscape. From November to December, industrial activity has not only failed to recover but has intensified its decline. This suggests underlying issues within the industry, possibly exacerbated by external factors such as global market fluctuations or internal economic conditions.
Industry analysts are closely watching these developments, as the sector faces pressures that could impede economic recovery and growth. The significant drop might drive policymakers and industry stakeholders to explore strategies for stabilization and revitalization, emphasizing the need for resilience amidst an evolving global economic environment. As Singapore navigates these challenges, the impact on its broader economic health remains a key concern moving forward.
