Electronics and biomedical manufacturing each accounted for about a third of the total.
Two manufacturing clusters led the year
Electronics commitments came to about S$4.7 billion and biomedical manufacturing to S$4.4 billion. The EDB reported about S$12.1 billion for manufacturing overall. Its review describes semiconductor companies both building plants and expanding existing ones. Source 1 Source 2
Research sat within the service commitments
The ministry puts the research and development cluster at S$963 million, the largest component within services. The exhibit’s 14.3% service share includes research and development. Counting it again would double-count that spending. Source 1
Follow the commitments by measure
Fixed asset investment commitments rose from S$13.5 billion in 2024 to S$14.2 billion in 2025. The EDB separately recorded S$8.9 billion in annual business expenditure commitments in 2025, up from S$8.4 billion. The two measures cover different kinds of spending and time periods. Source 2
Expected employment had a different mix
The projects were expected to create about 15,700 jobs over five years. The EDB assigned 40% of those jobs to services, 37% to manufacturing and 23% to research, development and innovation. Those are projected jobs attached to commitments made in 2025. Source 2
