Taiwan’s export sector reached a historic milestone in March, posting its highest monthly total to date—a strong signal of resilience and vitality in global trade flows.
According to the Ministry of Finance, Taiwan’s exports soared by 18.6% year-on-year to an impressive $45.97 billion, surpassing market expectations and marking the 17th straight month of growth. This milestone reflects the country’s strategic role in global supply chains and its consistent performance in meeting international demand.
A key factor behind the record growth was heightened global interest in Taiwan’s high-value products, particularly in the artificial intelligence and semiconductor sectors. Proactive procurement by international buyers ahead of anticipated U.S. trade measures also contributed to the surge, reinforcing Taiwan’s position as a dependable trading partner.
Exports to major markets remained robust, with shipments to the United States increasing by 39.9% year-on-year, while exports to China grew by 12.6%. These figures underscore Taiwan’s strong and diversified trade relationships.
The electronic components sector, a cornerstone of Taiwan’s export economy, recorded a 19.3% rise, including a 20.6% jump in semiconductor exports. This continued growth highlights the country’s pivotal role in powering digital transformation across industries worldwide.
Imports also reflected positive trade activity, rising 28.8% to $42.62 billion, indicating strong domestic production needs and sustained economic momentum.
Looking ahead, Taiwan’s finance ministry remains optimistic, forecasting steady export performance in April, with a projected growth range of up to 5%. As global markets continue to evolve, Taiwan’s export strength serves as a valuable anchor for trade stability and innovation-driven growth.
