Singapore’s industrial production accelerated sharply in April 2026, rising 17.6% year-over-year, according to data updated on 26 May 2026. The latest figure marks a substantial gain from March 2026, when output expanded by 9.2% compared with the same month a year earlier.

The year-over-year comparison shows that the city-state’s manufacturing sector is building momentum, with April’s growth rate nearly doubling March’s pace. Both the current and previous readings measure the change in industrial production against the corresponding month of the prior year, highlighting a sustained and strengthening recovery across Singapore’s industrial base.

The robust April performance suggests that key manufacturing segments are continuing to underpin Singapore’s broader economic outlook in 2026, as the industrial sector posts back-to-back months of strong annual growth.
