The fastest-growing contract was FTSE China A50 futures, which is the only one in Asia outside China allowing traders to speculate on a Chinese stock market index.
Derivatives are growing faster than equities on SGX, in common with rivals Bursa Malaysia and the TFE, which is a subsidiary of the Stock Exchange of Thailand.
Derivatives accounted for 30 per cent of SGX group revenues in 2014, compared with 33 per cent for equities. That was up from 21 per cent and 44 per cent, respectively, in 2011.
Bursa Malaysia said total volume at its derivatives arm grew by 17 per cent, with crude palm oil futures — its biggest contract by volume — growing by 28 per cent.
Late last year Malaysia revived an almost defunct set of financial futures — government bond and interest rate contracts — in an attempt to broaden its appeal to traders.
Other countries in Asia also are developing their derivatives markets. This week China published draft rules that would allow foreign investors for the first time to trade commodity futures on the Shanghai Futures Exchange.
KRX on Tuesday said it would launch a new venue for trading equity, interest rate and renminbi currency futures as part of sweeping reforms to its main securities and derivatives markets.
