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.

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%).
