Singapore's Non-Oil Exports Jump 24.2% in July as AI-Driven Chip Demand Powers a Fourth Straight Month of 20%+ Growth

  • Singapore's non-oil domestic exports (NODX) rose 24.2% year-on-year in July 2026, accelerating from June's 20.8% gain and marking a fourth consecutive month of growth above 20%, according to Enterprise Singapore.
  • The gain was driven almost entirely by electronics, where NODX surged 112% on demand tied to artificial intelligence hardware — disk media products rose 339.1% (S$1.6 billion) and integrated circuits climbed 84.5% (S$1.4 billion) — while non-electronic NODX fell 2.3%.
  • Enterprise Singapore upgraded its full-year 2026 NODX growth forecast to 14-16%, up sharply from a prior 3-5% range, as total merchandise trade rose 38.6% year-on-year for the month.
