The fundamentals of strong consumer demand and economic optimism prevailed, despite rising input costs/price pressures. Malaysia, South Korea and Egypt were the few countries that experienced a contraction in their manufacturing based on a decline in new orders especially from China alongside economic uncertainty and rising raw material costs. China saw a moderate increase in production, but with more caution evidenced by low inventories and reduced headcount in their workforce.
