SINGAPORE, Nov 16 (Reuters) - Singapore's non-oil exports unexpectedly fell in October, dropping by 0.2 percent after seasonal adjustments from September, data showed on Friday.

October's fall compared with market expectations for a 2.0 percent rise, and followed a 1.5 percent decline in September.

Non-oil exports in October rose 6.8 percent from a year earlier to S$15.8 billion ($10.9 billion), trade agency International Enterprise Singapore said in a statement. That compared with a 2.2 percent rise in September, and with a median forecast in a Reuters poll for an annual increase of 6.0 percent.

Economists had expected a marginal rise in October exports as faster drugs shipments offset persistent weakness in electronics exports.

Electronics account for about 40 percent of the city-state's non-oil exports, while pharmaceuticals make up about 10 percent of overseas sales.

October electronics shipments fell by 7.2 percent from a year ago while drugs exports rose 15.1 percent in the same period. Petrochemicals climbed 18.6 percent.

Singapore's non-oil domestic exports, which comprise of goods that have been manufactured in Singapore or undergone further processing, include mobile phones, medical instruments, and active ingredients for some blockbuster drugs.
