The growth was led by electronic NODX, which grew by 112 per cent, up from the 105.1 per cent increase in June.
According to Enterprise SG, the increase was supported by "robust artificial intelligence related demand" such as disk media products — which rose by 339.1 per cent or $1.6 billion, and integrated circuits — which grew by 84.5 per cent or $1.4 billion.
Meanwhile, non-electronic NODX fell by 2.3 per cent, easing slightly from the 2.8 per cent in June.
Overall, NODX grew by 19.4 per cent in the first seven months of this year.
Of the top 10 markets for NODX exports, the US was Singapore's top market, following by China and Taiwan.
Non-oil re-exports (NORX) grew by 51.3 per cent in July, down slightly from the 60.3 per cent growth recorded in June.
The expansion was also primarily driven by the electronics sector, EnterpriseSG said.
Total merchandise trade rose by 38.6 per cent in July 2026, down from the 49.3 per cent growth in June. But both exports and imports grew.
