Singapore-on-Lagan

During the House of Commons Spring Budget debate, the DUP's Sammy Wilson affirms his Brexit vision --

... when we are free of the EU and therefore able to make trade deals with countries across the world. 

Besides the fact that his "therefore" doesn't follow (customs union), where's the evidence that Northern Ireland would gain from free trade with the wider world? Shipbuilding and cars being two industries that couldn't survive previously under similar conditions.
