NODX rise 15.3% in March as electronics jump 74%

Demand for AI hardware—ICs, PCs, and disk media—is a key growth driver.

Non-oil domestic exports (NODX) rose 15.3% in March, following a 4% increase in February, according to an Enterprise Singapore report.

Electronic NODX grew 74%, up from 43.1%, supported by strong demand linked to artificial intelligence and a low base a year earlier.

Growth was primarily attributed to integrated circuits, personal computers, and disk media products.

Meanwhile, non-electronic NODX declined 0.6% in March, after a 6.9% fall in February. Overall, NODX rose 9.6% in the first three months.

Non-oil re-exports increased 61.4%, extending the 21.9% rise in February. The expansion was driven primarily by electronics, with additional support from non-electronics.

Total merchandise trade grew 38.5% from 13.6%, with both exports and imports registering gains.

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.
