Building Materials Distribution 2025-Jun Doc　#42552 Industry Report (condensed version) US$300 Amid rising tariff-related costs and mounting pressure from the appreciation of the New Taiwan dollar, exporting building materials has become increasingly challenging. Simultaneously, waning consumer confidence has led households to adopt a more cautious approach to home renovation spending, placing additional strain on domestic demand for building materials. Industry forecasts suggest that economic performance in the second half of 2025 will fall short of the same period in 2024, with the rate of decline expected to exceed that of the first half of the year. Fund Management Industry 2025-Jun Doc　#42553 Industry Report (condensed version) US$300 Although Taiwan's leading investment trust firms recorded continued revenue and net profit growth from January to March 2025, the overall growth momentum showed signs of deceleration. Notably, CTBC Investments reported only single-digit growth, largely constrained by volatility in the U.S. bond market. Looking ahead, the industry's economic expansion is expected to moderate in the first half of the year, as the tariff-driven trade conflict has dampened fund investment returns and hindered capital raising efforts for newly launched products. Furniture and Home Accessories Distribution 2025-Jun Doc　#42442 Industry Report (condensed version) US$300 Due to the impact of the new wave of anti-house speculation policies such as the House Hoarding Tax 2.0 and the seventh wave of credit controls on the housing market, sales performance of Taiwan’s furniture and home furnishings distribution industry will decline. In addition, the foreign market is in a turbulent economic situation, and the purchasing intention for furniture may be slightly conservative. Therefore, it is judged that the business outlook of Taiwan's furniture and home furnishings distribution industry in the first half of 2025 will only be flat to weak. Gas Stations 2025-Jun Doc　#42425 Industry Report (condensed version) US$300 In the second half of 2025, gasoline and diesel sales volumes at Taiwan’s gas stations are projected to decline. Furthermore, the softening of international oil prices will exert downward pressure on the retail unit prices of petroleum products, limiting overall revenue growth. Coupled with structural challenges such as the rising penetration of electric vehicles, broader adoption of public transportation, and intensified competition within the sector, operators continue to face elevated operational pressure. As a result, the business climate of Taiwan’s gas station industry is expected to deteriorate in the latter half of 2025. Life Insurance 2025-Jun Doc　#42411 Industry Report (condensed version) US$300 Although dividend-paying, variable-interest, and investment-linked policies exhibited strong growth momentum in early 2025, persistent bond valuation losses and elevated hedging costs continue to undermine overall profitability. As a result, the industry’s outlook is projected to shift from stability in the first half of the year to contraction in the latter half. Port Industry 2025-Jun Doc　#42459 Industry Report (condensed version) US$300 Amid slowing global economic growth, escalating international trade frictions, persistent geopolitical risks, and the likelihood of Taiwan’s economic growth peaking before declining, port-related business volumes—such as cargo throughput, container handling, and vessel traffic—are expected to weaken. As a result, Taiwan’s port industry is projected to enter a slight recession in the second half of 2025. Trucking Industry 2025-May Doc　#42250 Industry Report (condensed version) US$300 The economic outlook for Taiwan’s trucking industry in the second quarter of 2025 appears cautiously optimistic. While moderate growth is anticipated, the sector continues to grapple with a persistent and worsening shortage of qualified drivers. This structural labor issue is placing upward pressure on wages, compelling logistics firms to offer higher salaries in an effort to attract and retain talent. Other Catering Industry 2025-May Doc　#42226 Industry Report (condensed version) US$300 While large-scale corporate events, international competitions, and religious gatherings are expected to sustain demand for group catering services, ongoing global trade tensions and tariff uncertainties may lead to tighter private-sector banquet budgets. Additionally, growing public caution toward travel could dampen catering sales linked to public transportation. Rising costs—particularly for food procurement and labor—will further pressure industry margins. As a result, the catering sector’s business climate is projected to remain stable but subdued in 2025. Discount Store Industry 2025-May Doc　#42390 Industry Report (condensed version) US$300 Impacted by the ongoing tariff war and a stagnant domestic real estate market, sales of household goods in the industry have remained relatively weak. Fortunately, in response to inflationary pressures, hypermarkets are ramping up marketing efforts in consumer staples and food services. Nevertheless, given the rise in the comparative base period, the industry’s overall economic performance is expected to exhibit only modest growth in the second half of 2025. Online Shopping and Mail Order Industry 2025-May Doc　#42391 Industry Report (condensed version) US$300 Between January and March 2025, online sales across key categories—including apparel, medical beauty, education and entertainment, information and communications technology, and home appliances—registered positive growth. This upward trend underscores the effectiveness of integrating physical retail channels with digital platforms. Retailers have strategically enhanced their online footprint by launching official LINE accounts to attract and engage members, while simultaneously consolidating marketing resources to reach a broader external audience. This dual-channel strategy not only strengthened customer acquisition efforts but also significantly increased the volume of online transactions.  First  Previous  Next  Last  In  1  /  44  Page  (Find  435  records)
