Electronic NODX failed to break losing streak on weak PC segment

It's a 21-month old drought.

Electronic NODX shows no sign of recovery as it continues its downward trajectory in April contracting 8.7%. According to UOB Economic-Treasury Research, electronic NODX decline for the 21st consecutive month, worse than consensus expectations of a 7.5% y/y contraction, due to weak performance from PC-related product groups such as PCs (-32.5% y/y), disk drives (-35.4%), and ICs (-5.3%).

Here's more:

With continued weakness in Singapore’s electronic NODX, the average share of electronic products to overall NODX in the first 4 months of 2014 fell to 28.5%, the lowest in our records. In comparison, just 10 years ago, slightly more than half (50.6%) of NODX were electronics-related. We do not see this negatively as it shows that Singapore’s NODX is increasingly being diversified to other product groupings as the economy undergoes economic restructuring.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
