Singapore’s industrial production accelerated sharply in August 2026, posting a year-over-year increase of 15.4%, according to data updated on 28 September 2026. This marks a strong step-up from July 2026, when output had already recorded a solid 6.9% gain compared with a year earlier.
The figures are compiled on a year-over-year basis, meaning August’s performance is measured against August of the previous year, while July’s reading reflects a comparison with July a year earlier. The jump from 6.9% to 15.4% underscores a rapid strengthening in Singapore’s industrial sector momentum as the third quarter progresses.
The robust August print suggests a broadening recovery in manufacturing activity, although detailed breakdowns by industry were not provided. Still, the more-than-doubling of the annual growth rate between July and August positions industrial production as a potential support for Singapore’s near-term economic outlook.
