Taiwan Manufacturing PMI
The IHS Markit Taiwan Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index measures the performance of the manufacturing sector and is derived from a survey of 300 industrial companies. The Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index is based on five individual indexes with the following weights: New Orders (30 percent), Output (25 percent), EmploySuppliers’ Delivery Times (15 percent) and Stock of Items Purchased (10 percent), with the Delivery Times index inverted so that it moves in a comparable direction. A reading above 50 indicates an expansion of the manufacturing sector compared to the previous month; below 50 represents a contraction; while 50 indicates no change.

Taiwan Manufacturing Growth Remains Strong
The S&P Global Taiwan Manufacturing PMI eased to 55.2 in June 2026 from 56.1 in May, still indicating strong expansion. Output rose at the fastest pace since July 2021, driven by surging new orders and stockpiling amid Middle East conflict-related supply disruptions and higher price expectations. New export orders grew at the second-strongest pace since January 2022, supported by demand from the US, Europe, and Japan. Purchasing activity increased, while finished goods stocks rose at the second-fastest pace since 2011. Supplier performance weakened further due to shipping disruptions, though slightly less severe than in May. Input costs rose at a slower but still sharp rate, leading to higher selling prices. Employment declined for a fourth month, while backlogs increased at one of the fastest rates since early 2022. Business confidence hit a near two-year high, supported by strong AI and semiconductor demand, though cost pressures and geopolitical risks weighed on sentiment.
