2025-12-23 08:23 By Dongting Liu 1 min. read

Orders for Taiwanese exports surged 39.5% year-on-year to a record USD 72.9 billion in November 2025, accelerating a 25.1% gain in October.

The increase was largely driven by stronger growth in electronic products (47.9% vs 35.9% in October) and information and communication products (69.4% vs 28.4%).

These gains were partially offset by slower growth in machinery (6.9% vs 16%), electrical machinery products (4.2% vs 11.2%), and other categories (21.8% vs 32.7%), as well as continued decreases in transport equipment (-5.7% vs -4.4%), mineral products (-7.5% vs -1.5%), and plastics and articles thereof (-15.8% vs -9.8%).

Outbound shipments also returned to decline in optical, photographic, and cinematographic apparatus (-2.4% vs 2.9%) and chemicals (-12.5% vs 4.4%).

By destination, export orders to the U.S.

soared 56.1%, while shipments to Europe rose 26.0%, and orders to Mainland China and Hong Kong increased 17.6%.
