Taiwan Industry Reports
Industry Type:   Title:  

 
Pumps, Compressors, Taps and Valves Manufacturing industry
2026-OctDoc　#45153Industry Report (condensed version)US$300
Driven by sustained growth in domestic market demand, greater localization of downstream industries, and continued order growth in overseas markets, the pumps, compressors, taps, and valves manufacturing industry's sales value is expected to post a stronger year-over-year growth rate in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Conveying Machinery Equipment Manufacturing
2026-OctDoc　#45152Industry Report (condensed version)US$300
Driven by capital investment in AI, semiconductors, and other high-tech industries, along with the construction of domestic semiconductor and high-tech facilities, smart warehousing upgrades, and automated production line expansion, domestic sales and project orders for conveying equipment are expected to stabilize in the fourth quarter of 2026. Accordingly, the industry's sales value is expected to sustain year-over-year growth. However, exchange-rate competition involving the New Taiwan dollar, Japanese yen, and Korean won will continue to squeeze gross profit margins at some small and medium-sized conveying equipment manufacturers.
Paper Container Manufacturing
2026-OctDoc　#45048Industry Report (condensed version)US$300
Although rising inflation is expected to dampen global consumption, weigh on end-user PC sales, and weaken demand for Taiwan's paper containers, while higher raw material and labor costs will squeeze manufacturers' profit margins, robust global economic growth, an improved supply-demand balance in China, and sales growth in Taiwan's technology sector are expected to support industrial paper demand. In addition, new production capacity from Taiwanese manufacturers is supporting business expansion, while paper prices continue to rise as manufacturers pass on higher costs. Overall, Taiwan's paper container industry is expected to maintain its growth momentum over the next six months, covering the fourth quarter of 2026 and the first quarter of 2027.
Metal Forging Industry
2026-OctDoc　#45013Industry Report (condensed version)US$300
Stable demand from emerging applications, including AI-related equipment, aerospace, renewable energy, military applications, and electric vehicles, is supporting order intake and shipments among major forging manufacturers. Accordingly, the industry's sales value is projected to increase by 3.65% in 2027 compared with 2026. Although competition from Chinese forging exports remains intense, stabilizing international raw material prices and a higher share of niche forging products in shipments are expected to improve average selling prices. Overall, the industry's business outlook for 2027 is expected to remain flat to slightly stronger.
Other Chemical Products Manufacturing
2026-OctDoc　#45039Industry Report (condensed version)US$300
Despite ongoing geopolitical and economic uncertainty and elevated crude oil prices that are expected to raise production costs, steady global economic growth, expanding AI applications, and continued investment in emerging technology industries such as semiconductors are expected to sustain demand for related chemicals. Manufacturers are also expected to optimize production processes and product mixes while strengthening cost controls. Overall, the industry's business outlook is expected to remain positive over the next six months, covering the fourth quarter of 2026 and the first quarter of 2027.
Structural Metal and Building Component Manufacturing
2026-SepDoc　#45012Industry Report (condensed version)US$300
The sales value of Taiwan’s structural metal and building component manufacturing industry is expected to grow by 4.75% in 2027 compared with 2026. Meanwhile, as major manufacturers continue to increase the proportion of niche products, such as wind power steel structures, technology plants, data centers, and large-scale projects, and upstream steel prices are expected to remain stable, the impact of raw material cost fluctuations on product prices should be reduced. Therefore, the industry is projected to maintain moderate growth in 2027.
Stainless Steel Manufacturing
2026-SepDoc　#44844Industry Report (condensed version)US$300
Taiwan’s stainless steel manufacturing industry is expected to see a modest rebound in sales value in the fourth quarter of 2026, with full-year sales value projected to grow 2.35% from 2025. Despite intense competition from China and Indonesia, expanding demand from electric vehicles and renewable energy, a higher share of niche products, and a rebound in average nickel prices are expected to support product prices and manufacturers’ operating performance. Accordingly, the industry is expected to experience a moderate recovery in 2026.
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.
