NODX slumps to 6.1% in December 2025 as Western demand sinks

Shipments to Japan and Hong Kong have also declined.

Singapore’s Non-oil domestic exports (NODX) growth was nearly sliced in half in December 2025, cooling to 6.1% from a November high of 11.5% as demand from Western markets retreated, according to an Enterprise Singapore report.

Whilst NODX finished 2025 up 4.8% overall, the year-end was marred by a slump in shipments to the US and EU. Shipments to Japan, Hong Kong, Indonesia, and Thailand have also declined.

However, exports to China, Taiwan and Malaysia posted double-digit growth, partially offsetting declines.

Meanwhile, non-electronic exports showed limited growth during the period, edging up just 0.8%, supported mainly by non-monetary gold, with most other product categories recording muted performance.

By contrast, electronics exports increased 24.9%, driven by integrated circuits, disk media products and telecommunications equipment.

Non-oil re-exports expanded 15% year-on-year, led by electronics, whilst non-electronic re-exports contracted.

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.
