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

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.
