Taiwan Industry Reports
Industry Type:   Title:  

 
Steel Drawing
2026-AugDoc　#44845Industry Report (condensed version)US$300
Taiwan’s steel wire drawing industry sales value is estimated to decline 3.45% in 2026. However, increased shipments of niche products, tighter regulation of China’s steel industry, and steel export controls are expected to ease competitive pressure from Chinese wire rods. Relatively stable international steelmaking raw material prices should also support steel product prices and industry profitability. Consequently, the overall business environment for Taiwan’s steel wire drawing industry is expected to remain broadly stable in 2026.
Leather, Fur and Related Products Manufacturing
2026-AugDoc　#44809Industry Report (condensed version)US$300
Given continued global political and economic uncertainty and persistent inflationary pressures, consumer demand is expected to remain subdued, weighing on mid- to high-priced leather products and overall industry demand. Exports of leather raw materials, particularly to the United States, are likely to remain under pressure. Meanwhile, Taiwan’s preference for high-end European products and low-priced Chinese alternatives is expected to constrain domestic sales of MIT products. Consequently, Taiwan’s leather, fur, and related products manufacturing industry is expected to remain in a recessionary phase throughout the second half of 2026.
Metalworking Machinery Manufacturing
2026-AugDoc　#44789Industry Report (condensed version)US$300
Although domestic orders are expected to remain subdued in the second half of 2026, Taiwan’s export orders are likely to increase, supported by economic growth in New Southbound Policy countries and ongoing supply chain realignment. Accordingly, the overall sales value of Taiwan’s machine tool industry is expected to recover from the decline recorded in the first half of the year and return to modest growth in the second half of 2026.
Cement and Cement Products Manufacturing
2026-AugDoc　#44693Industry Report (condensed version)US$300
Despite continued growth in private-sector factory construction and public infrastructure projects, Taiwan’s cement and cement products manufacturing industry is expected to record lower sales value in the second half of 2026 than in the same period of 2025. The decline will mainly reflect slower infrastructure demand growth, persistently weak residential construction, and continued competition from imported cement. Among subsectors, cement manufacturing is expected to post the largest year-on-year decline, followed by ready-mixed concrete and cement products manufacturing.
Household and Sanitary Paper Manufacturing
2026-AugDoc　#44670Industry Report (condensed version)US$300
Despite continued weak domestic consumption in China, import competition, and declining birth rates in the second half of 2026, improved tariff rates are expected to enhance export competitiveness. Meanwhile, election campaigns, steady domestic demand, and companies’ active expansion into new markets should gradually generate positive results. Therefore, Taiwan’s household and sanitary paper manufacturing industry is expected to maintain slight sales growth in the second half of 2026, with overall industry performance continuing to improve modestly.
Edible Oil Manufacturing Industry
2026-AugDoc　#44621Industry Report (condensed version)US$300
The domestic carcinogenic oil scandal has weakened consumer confidence, while the removal and recall of affected products, together with temporary factory shutdowns, are expected to adversely affect the oil industry’s shipment performance in the short term. Meanwhile, escalating tensions in the Middle East and China’s resumption of soybean purchases from the United States are keeping international soybean prices elevated, further increasing operating pressure on industry players. Accordingly, the edible oil manufacturing industry is expected to experience a downturn in the third quarter of 2026.
Woodworking Machinery Manufacturing
2026-JulDoc　#44627Industry Report (condensed version)US$300
Weak conditions in the global real estate and wooden furniture sectors have significantly reduced order visibility for leading manufacturers and their supply chains. Moreover, the ongoing shift by U.S. distributors toward Canadian and European suppliers continues to intensify competitive pressure on Taiwan's manufacturers in this industry.
Textile, Clothing & Leather Processing Machinery Manufacturing
2026-JulDoc　#44626Industry Report (condensed version)US$300
Persistent inflationary pressures are expected to continue eroding consumers' purchasing power, resulting in weaker spending on apparel and accessories. Consequently, textile manufacturers are likely to maintain a cautious approach to capital expenditure. Against this backdrop, the sales value of Taiwan's textile, clothing, and leather processing machinery industry is projected to continue registering a year-on-year decline in the second half of 2026.
Metal Container Manufacturing
2026-JulDoc　#44556Industry Report (condensed version)US$300
The sales value of Taiwan's metal container manufacturing industry is projected to increase modestly by 3.25% in 2026 compared with 2025. In addition, manufacturers are expected to accelerate their expansion into higher-value green energy and energy-efficient niche markets. Meanwhile, international prices for key industrial metals, including steel, aluminum, and zinc, are expected to remain elevated and volatile, supporting further product price increases across most market segments.
Processing and Preserving of Fish, Crustaceans, Molluscs and Related Products
2026-JulDoc　#44538Industry Report (condensed version)US$300
Although seafood processors are actively launching ready-to-eat, quick-cooking, and senior-oriented products to stimulate end-consumer demand, while the continued expansion of domestic catering channels is supporting demand for seafood ingredients, the industry's export growth potential remains constrained by the expansion of aquaculture and processing capacity, as well as low-price competition from China and Vietnam.
