Singapore’s Manufacturing PMI came in at 50.5 in March 2026, down slightly from 50.6 in the prior month, but still indicating expansion. New orders, exports, output and employment continued to rise but at a slower pace. The PMI for electronics, which accounts for about one third of the country's output, edged up to 51.4 from 51.3 in February, marking the 10th consecutive month of growth. This performance was supported by faster expansion in new orders, new exports, factory output, input purchases, and employment. Meanwhile, the supplier deliveries index contracted at a faster rate and for the fifth consecutive month, indicating longer delivery lead times. Input prices also increased, as manufacturers face intensified supply chain challenges due to the Middle East conflict.
