Chart of the Day: EU is largest contributor to NODX growth in October

Its expansion was fueled by the growth in pharmaceuticals, ICs, and non-electric engines & motors bound to EU.

This chart from Enterprise Singapore (ESG) shows that the largest contributor to the expansion in non-oil domestic exports (NODX) was the 37% growth in EU 28. This was followed by US and Japan where NODX growth was recorded at 32.8% and 20.7%, respectively.

The agency noted that the 37% increase in the NODX to the EU followed September’s increase of 21.6%, led by pharmaceuticals (+92.7%), ICs (+51.9%) and non-electric engines & motors (+102.5%).

Meanwhile, the 32.8% NODX growth to the US was fueled by food preparations, pharmaceuticals (+85.8%) and miscellaneous manufactured articles (+102.3%). In September, NODX to the US expanded by 41.5%.

For Japan-bound NODX, the growth was recorded at 20.7% backed by the expansion in pharmaceuticals (+75.6%), specialised machinery (+68.5%) and measuring instruments (+149.7%). In September, NODX to Japan saw a 1.5% dip.

ESG noted that NODX expanded 8.3% YoY in October backed by the growth in non-electronic NODX which outweighed the decline in electronics.

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.
