Electronic NODX failed to break losing streak on weak PC segment

It's a 21-month old drought.

Electronic NODX shows no sign of recovery as it continues its downward trajectory in April contracting 8.7%. According to UOB Economic-Treasury Research, electronic NODX decline for the 21st consecutive month, worse than consensus expectations of a 7.5% y/y contraction, due to weak performance from PC-related product groups such as PCs (-32.5% y/y), disk drives (-35.4%), and ICs (-5.3%).

Here's more:

With continued weakness in Singapore’s electronic NODX, the average share of electronic products to overall NODX in the first 4 months of 2014 fell to 28.5%, the lowest in our records. In comparison, just 10 years ago, slightly more than half (50.6%) of NODX were electronics-related. We do not see this negatively as it shows that Singapore’s NODX is increasingly being diversified to other product groupings as the economy undergoes economic restructuring.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
