Taiwan Neue Aufträge

Orders for Taiwanese exports rose 19.5% year-on-year in August 2025 to USD 60.0 billion, marking the seventh consecutive month of growth and easing from an upwardly revised 20.8% increase in the previous month. The slight moderation was driven by weaker growth in machinery (+3.0% vs +6.2% in July), information and communication products (+20.6% vs +24.2%), optical and photographic instruments (+9.8% vs +13.6%) and other goods (+13.0% vs +19.4%), while chemicals (-9.5% vs +7.8%), electrical machinery (-2.0% vs +2.3%), transport equipment (-18.1% vs +1.1%), textiles (-0.8% vs +0.8%) and mineral products (-9.1% vs +10.4%) posted declines. In contrast, export orders rose faster in electronic products (+39.5% vs +32.9%), partially offsetting the overall slowdown. By destination, exports to ASEAN surged 40.3%, followed by the US (+33.6%) and Japan (+21.0%), while shipments to Mainland China and Hong Kong (-0.7%) and Europe (-0.3%) slipped.
