Industrial production in Taiwan surged 21.57% year-on-year in December 2025, accelerating from a downwardly revised 15.82% increase in the previous month.
This marked the strongest growth since May, driven by faster expansion in manufacturing output (22.98% vs 16.72% in November), particularly in the manufacture of electronic parts and components (19.32% vs 17.31%) and integrated circuits (20.12% vs 18.05%).
Overall output was also supported by faster growth in water supply (0.98% vs 0.84%) and a notable rebound in mining and quarrying output (3% vs -5.86%).
In contrast, production in electricity and gas supply declined by 3.45%, reversing a 1.57% gain in November.
On a seasonally adjusted monthly basis, industrial production jumped to 5.8% in December 2025 from 4.41% in the prior month, marking its highest level since April 2025.
