Orders for Taiwanese exports surged 59.4% year-on-year to a record high of USD 95.3 billion in June 2026, accelerating from a 47.2% increase in the previous month.

The sharp rise continued to be driven by robust global demand for AI-related and technology products.

Significant growth was recorded across major categories, particularly information and communication products (81.9% vs 67.2% in May), electronic products (79.9% vs 61.2%), electrical machinery products (14.0% vs 7.6%), and basic metals (16.5% vs 9.6%).

Export orders for transport equipment also rebounded strongly (12.3% vs -1.4%).

Meanwhile, growth moderated for machinery products (17.6% vs 22.5%) and mineral products (30.5% vs 53.1%), while orders for optical, photographic, and cinematographic apparatus continued to decline (-3.3% vs -1.7%).

Among major markets, export order growth remained strong, led by the US (83.6%), followed by the Mainland China and Hong Kong (37.2%), and the ASEAN countries (52.3%).

Orders for Taiwanese exports rose by 47.2% year-on-year to USD 89.48 billion in May 2026, easing from a 48.1% increase in the previous month. The moderation was largely driven by softer demand for information and communication products (67.2% vs 89.7% in April), electrical machinery products (7.6% vs 14.1%), machinery (22.5% vs 23.4%), and mineral products (53.1% vs 70.3%). In addition, export orders for optical, photographic, and cinematographic apparatus tumbled (-1.7% vs 5.8%), while orders for transport equipment continued to decline (-1.4% vs -0.9%). On the other hand, demand strengthened for electronic products (61.2% vs 45.9%) and basic metals (9.6% vs 4.5%). Growth remained robust across major markets, particularly the US (63.9%), Europe (48.7%), Mainland China and Hong Kong (37.5%), ASEAN countries (31.6%), and Japan (29.1%).

Taiwan Export Orders Growth Remains Strong
Taiwan’s export orders remained robust in April 2026, rising 48.1% year-on-year to USD 87.4 billion, although the pace of growth eased from March’s exceptionally strong 65.9% increase. The moderation largely reflected softer demand for key technology products, with growth in electronic products slowing to 45.9% from 73.7% and information and communication products easing to 89.7% from 120.9%. Despite the slower pace, momentum remained solid across several sectors. Orders for machinery accelerated to 23.4% from 20.8%, while basic metals and related products rose 4.5% from 2.9%, optical and photographic equipment increased 5.8% from 4.2%, electrical machinery products edged up to 14.1% from 13.6%, and mineral products surged 70.3% from 28.4%. Growth also stayed strong across major markets, with export orders from the US rising 62.6% (vs 76.4%), ASEAN countries 61.7% (vs 94.4%), Mainland China and Hong Kong 29.0% (vs 45.7%), and Europe 21.8% (vs 45.2%).
