INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
|
INDUSTRY :
|
ECONOMY
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
According to Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI), the Singapore
economy is expected to grow by 1.0 to 3.0% in 2013 as growth in the global economy
is likely to remain subdued despite macroeconomic conditions stablising in
recent months of 2013.
|
|
|
|
However, the global economic outlook is still clouded with
uncertainties. Notably, concerns remain over the extent of the fiscal
cutback with the budget sequester in the US and potential flareup of the
debt crisis in the Eurozone. Should any of these risks materialise,
Singapore's economic growth could come in lower than expected.
|
|
|
|
Although resilient domestic demand in emerging Asia will provide
some support to global demand, it will not fully mitigate the effects of an
economic slowdown in the advanced economies. Consequently, Singapore's
externally-oriented sectors such as electronics and wholesale trade will
continue to perform poorly, while the financial services sector will be
affected by heightened uncertainties in the external environment.
Nevertheless, there will be some modest support to growth from the
biomedical manufacturing cluster and tourism-related sectors. The former
will likely see increased production of active pharmaceutical ingredients
and biologics while the latter will benefit from rising visitor arrivals
from the region.
|
|
|
|
For the whole of 2012, Singapore's GDP growth slowed to 1.3%, from
5.2% in 2011, mainly due to weakness in the externally-oriented sectors.
Manufacturing sector growth slowed sharply from 7.8% in the year 2011 to
0.1%. The hudge decline was largely due to a rebound in the output of the biomedical
manufacturing and transport engineering clusters, which together helped to
mitigate part of the fall in output in the electronics cluster. By
contrast, the construction sector growth accelerated from 6.3% to 8.2% in
2012, due to the expansion in both public and private building activities.
|
|
|
|
Growth in the services producing industries also moderated to 1.2%
in 2012, compared to 4.6% in 2011. This was mainly due to the slowdown in
wholesale and retail trade, accommodation and food services as well as
other services industries. In particular, the wholesale and retail trade
sector contracted by 0.7%, compared to the 1.6% growth in year 2011. The
accommodation and food services as well as other services industries posted
lower gains of 2.8% and 0.1% respectively, compared to 8.2% and 6.3% in
2011.
|
|
|
|
For the whole of 2012, all sectors, except the wholesale and retail
trade, contributed to growth. Business services was the largest contributor
with 0.4 percentage-points, followed by construction with 0.3
percentage-points and transportation and storage at 0.2 percentagepoints.
Besides, growth in total demand moderated to 2.4%, compared to 4.2% in
2011. Domestic demand was the key contributor to total demand growth,
accounting for 2.2 percentage-points, or over 90 per cent, of the increase.
|
|
|
|
In 2012, total domestic demand rose by 9.7%, following the 6.5%
increase in 2011. The growth in total domestic demand was broad-based
across consumption, gross fixed capital formation (GFCF) and changes in
inventories. The total consumption expenditure in 2012 grew slightly by
0.9%, easing from the 3.7% growth in 2011. Public consumption expenditure
fell by 3.6%, reversing the 0.5% growth in 2011. Private consumption
expenditure registered a 2.2% gain, moderating from the 4.6% increase in

recycling, manufacturing of metals & plastics product. Having been in the
industry for over a decade, the SC has achieved a certain market share and
has built up a satisfactory reputation in the market. It should have
received supports from its regular customers. Presently, the issued and
paid up capital of the SC stands at SGD 3million.
Over the years, the SC has established an extensive clientele base in the
market. Besides catering to the local market, the SC has penetrated into
other countries. With the contribution of both local and overseas
customers, the SC is likely to be exposed to lower commercial risk. Hence,
we believe that the SC has better business expansion opportunities in the
future. Being a small company, the SC's business operation is supported by
7 employees. Overall, we regard that the SC's management capability is
average.
As the SC is registered as an Exempt Private company, it is not required to
file financial statements for public review. As such, we are unable to

suppliers and insufficient quantities of its raw materials.

growth. The steady growth of the country's economy will further enhance the
industry activities. Thus, the SC's future performance is very much depend
on its marketing strategies in order to retain its position in the market.
