Cotton and Wool Spinning Mills
2025-AprDoc　#42054Industry Report (condensed version)US$300
Amid concerns that former President Trump's new tariff policies may reignite inflationary pressures in the United States, the U.S. Consumer Confidence Index declined in January and February 2025. With global economic growth expected to decelerate and consumer spending likely to soften, the outlook for the Asian textile industry has dimmed—posing indirect challenges to Taiwan’s cotton and wool yarn production and sales. Furthermore, the USDA projects continued weakness in cotton futures prices through the first half of 2025, which is expected to suppress cotton yarn quotations. Against this backdrop, the industry's business climate is anticipated to re-enter a recessionary phase during the first half of the year.
Iron and Steel Casting Manufacturing
2025-AprDoc　#42042Industry Report (condensed version)US$300
Industry participants are actively expanding into key international markets, including Europe, the United States, and ASEAN. As a result, the industry's sales value is projected to rise by 2.75% year-over-year in 2025. Upstream raw material prices—such as steel, aluminum, and magnesium—are anticipated to remain stable, while a strategic shift toward a higher share of niche product shipments will help support overall product pricing. Consequently, industry conditions are expected to remain broadly steady throughout 2025.
Leather, Fur and Related Products Manufacturing
2025-AprDoc　#41887Industry Report (condensed version)US$300
The global economy faces potential headwinds from a renewed escalation in the U.S.-China trade conflict and the implementation of the United States’ new “reciprocal tariff” policy. These developments may dampen global economic growth and reignite inflationary pressures, weakening consumer spending across markets and indirectly weighing on Taiwan’s leather product shipments. Furthermore, the industry continues to experience a long-term contraction in the number of active manufacturers, reflecting limited momentum for sustained development. As a result, the sector is expected to enter a mild recession in 2025.
Metalworking Machinery Manufacturing
2025-AprDoc　#42155Industry Report (condensed version)US$300
The global economy continues to contract under the impact of reciprocal tariff policies introduced by President Trump. Simultaneously, China's suspension of certain items from the ECFA early harvest list further dampens the industry's export prospects. These developments have weakened investor confidence among domestic enterprises, leading to persistently sluggish domestic market orders. As a result, the industry's overall outlook is expected to remain in a state of recession throughout 2025.
Motorcycle Parts Manufacturing
2025-AprDoc　#41925Industry Report (condensed version)US$300
Amid persistent caution in the domestic automotive market, a recovery in motorcycle parts sales remains unlikely in the near term. However, demand for higher-priced components is expected to hold steady, and the contraction in export performance is gradually easing. As a result, the economic outlook for Taiwan’s motorcycle parts manufacturing industry in the first half of 2025 is projected to remain stable to mildly subdued.
Other Transport Equipment and Parts Not Elsewhere Classified
2025-AprDoc　#42106Industry Report (condensed version)US$300
Supported by steady domestic demand for aircraft and their components, all-terrain vehicles, and electric scooters, Taiwan’s market for “other transport equipment and parts not elsewhere classified” is expected to remain stable to modestly improved in the first half of 2025. However, a more conservative approach to procurement of rail vehicles, patient transport vehicles, and related parts may weigh on overall momentum. As a result, the industry is likely to experience flat to slightly positive growth compared to the same period in 2024.
Paper Mills
2025-AprDoc　#42083Industry Report (condensed version)US$300
The business environment remains highly volatile, particularly given the uncertainties surrounding U.S. trade policy, which could affect global consumption momentum. Furthermore, the ongoing impact of digital transformation and AI development across various countries, along with intensified competition from China, is likely to exert additional pressure on cultural paper sales. As a result, the overall outlook for Taiwan’s paper industry is expected to show a slight decline in prosperity in the first half of 2025.
Conveying Machinery Manufacturing
2025-MarDoc　#42010Industry Report (condensed version)US$300
With domestic demand weakening and overseas orders declining, the industry's sales value is expected to contract in 2025, continuing the downward trend.
Electronics and Semiconductor Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing
2025-MarDoc　#42009Industry Report (condensed version)US$300
Sales value of the electronics and semiconductor machinery manufacturing industry is expected to continue rising in 2025, driven by strong AI and HPC market demand, new wafer fab constructions, and Taiwan’s push to strengthen its semiconductor supply chain. However, growth momentum may slow due to more conservative capital expenditures from electronics companies amid escalating trade tensions following President Trump's tariff policies.
Uninterruptible Power System
2025-MarDoc　#41907Industry Report (condensed version)US$300
Server-related UPS sales remain stable, but PC-compatible UPS shipments remain weak. As a result, the combined revenue and economic growth momentum of major UPS manufacturers in Taiwan are expected to slow slightly in 2025 compared to 2024.
