NODX down 4.6% in July

NODX to the US dropped 42.7%.

Singapore’s non-oil domestic exports (NODX) declined by 4.6% year-on-year (YoY) in July 2025, following a 12.9% increase in June, as per data from Enterprise Singapore.

The decline was driven by weaker non-electronics exports, whilst electronics shipments continued to grow. On a year-to-date basis, NODX rose 3.6% in the first seven months of 2025.

On a YoY basis, electronic NODX increased 2.8% in July, slowing from 8% in June. Key contributors included personal computers (+80.4%), integrated circuits (+8.0%), and bare PCBs (+25.8%).

Non-electronic NODX fell 6.6% in July, after a 14.4% rise in June. Pharmaceuticals (-18.9%), petrochemicals (-23.4%), and food preparations (-26.3%) contributed most to the decline.

Exports to the US, China, and Indonesia fell in July, whilst shipments to the EU-27, Taiwan, South Korea, and Hong Kong rose.

NODX to the US dropped 42.7%, China declined 12.2%, and Indonesia fell 32.2%, driven by pharmaceuticals, specialised machinery, and petrochemicals.

Non-oil re-exports (NORX) grew 22.1% YoY in July, extending June’s 18.3% increase, supported by both electronics and non-electronics.

Total trade expanded 8.4% YoY in July, with total exports up 8.6%, led by non-oil exports (+13.2%), whilst oil exports fell 13.7%. Total imports rose 8.1%, after flat growth in June.

Singapore maintains its full-year 2025 NODX growth forecast at 1% to 3%, amid uncertainties in global demand and trade conditions.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
