NODX growth could hit the lower end of the 4.0%-6.0% forecast

In 1Q24, NODX declined 3.4% YoY.

EnterpriseSG said NODX growth for the year could land at the lower end of its 4.0% to 6.0% forecast following the worse-than-expected 1Q24 performance.

In the first quarter of 2024, non-oil domestic exports (NODX) experienced a decline of 3.4% year-on-year, primarily driven by non-electronics, which contracted by 3.8% YoY.

The main contributors to the non-electronics decline were pharmaceuticals (-25.9%), structures of ships & boats (-93.3%) and electrical circuit apparatus (-22.3%).

Despite the weak NODX in 1Q24, EnterpriseSG said the recovery in electronics demand and normalisation of inventory levels will support recovery in 2H24.

“A net weighted balance of 40% of firms in the electronics cluster projected positive business prospects for the April to September 2024 period, compared to the first quarter of 2024. Similarly, global semiconductor revenue is projected to be 17.4% higher y-o-y in 2024, a turnaround from 2023’s 11.7% decline,” EnterpriseSG.

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.
