此一反彈表明東盟國家的製造業似乎已經擺脫了三月至六月間因中東衝突而導致的疲軟期。同時，北亞的主要製造業中心也因為中東局勢緩和以及對人工智慧相關電子產品的持續需求，使其 PMI 保持在 50 的擴張榮枯線之上。
然而，亞洲其他地區的數據則呈現對比：中國的製造業活動下滑，官方數據甚至顯示萎縮，加深了人們對其經濟放緩的擔憂；印度的製造業擴張速度雖然仍保持在 50 以上，但也放緩至近五年來的低點。
Southeast Asia's manufacturing sector experienced a strong rebound in July, with the purchasing managers' index (PMI) rising from a June low to 52.8. Led by Thailand and Vietnam, the growth rate of new orders and production reached its fastest pace since the Middle East conflict, accompanied by significant increases in purchasing activity, employment, and business confidence.
This rebound indicates that the manufacturing sector in ASEAN countries appears to have moved past the softer patch seen between March and June caused by the Middle East conflict. Meanwhile, major manufacturing hubs in North Asia also kept their PMIs firmly above the 50-point expansion threshold, driven by easing Middle East tensions and sustained demand for AI-related electronics.
However, data from other parts of Asia presented a stark contrast: China's manufacturing activity slumped, with official figures even showing a contraction, reinforcing concerns about an economic slowdown. In India, while the manufacturing expansion rate remained above the 50-point mark, it softened to a near five-year low.
