Singapore’s non-oil exports rise sharply in May, with multiple outlets citing record growth in electronics tied to artificial intelligence demand. Bloomberg reports that electronics exports increase by the largest margin on record last month, driven by strong global demand for AI-related equipment. Channel NewsAsia says Singapore’s May non-oil exports grow 38.4% year-on-year, describing the increase as largely powered by demand for products used in AI and data-centre supply chains, including integrated circuits, disk media products and PCs. CNA also quotes analysts who attribute the strength to an “unprecedented” AI buildout. These analysts point to a concentrated surge in hyperscaler capital spending—investment by large cloud and data-centre operators—as the primary factor behind the sharp increase, with electronics exports nearly doubling in May. Across the reports, the common theme is that demand linked to AI infrastructure expansion is lifting Singapore’s export performance, particularly in electronics categories supplying components and related hardware for data centres.
