July key exports rise 24.2% on AI-driven electronics demand
Electronics NODX jumped 112% from 105.1% in June.
Singapore’s non-oil domestic exports (NODX) rose 24.2% in July, extending the 20.8% increase in June, as electronics continued to benefit from artificial intelligence (AI)-related demand.
Electronics NODX jumped 112% from 105.1% in June, driven primarily by disk media products, integrated circuits (ICs), and personal computers (PCs), according to Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG).
Exports of disk media products surged 339.1%, whilst PCs grew 120.8%. ICs increased 84.5%.
Overall NODX climbed 19.4% in the first seven months of 2026.
Exports to the US rose 62.8% in July, driven by disk media products, PCs, and telecommunications equipment.
Shipments to China also grew 37.6%, supported by specialised machinery, non-monetary gold and ICs, whilst NODX to Taiwan increased 32.4%. Exports to Hong Kong rose 36.4%, whilst those to South Korea advanced 53.3%.
In contrast, NODX to the European Union fell 35.5%.
Meanwhile, non-electronic exports slipped 2.3%, following a 2.8% decrease in the past month.
EnterpriseSG said the contraction was led by pharmaceuticals, which dropped 56.7% from a high base a year earlier, alongside declines in petrochemicals and food preparations.
