Huoxing Finance reports that on August 27, economists at Maybank stated that although Singapore’s electronics industry growth slowed to an 11-month low, the sector will still benefit from global artificial intelligence infrastructure development. In July, Singapore’s electronics output increased by 11.2% year-over-year, down from 21.1% in June, partly due to a high base effect from the same period last year. Maybank noted: “Despite the slowdown in electronics output growth, we believe the AI boom is unlikely to end soon.” Meanwhile, demand for Singapore’s semiconductor equipment remains strong as global chip manufacturing capacity expands. Maybank highlighted that Singapore holds a significant share of the global semiconductor equipment production market, approximately 20%.
