flag Taiwan's January 2026 export orders hit a record $76.9 billion, up 60.1% year-on-year, fueled by surging global demand for AI and electronics.

flag Taiwan's export orders soared 60.1% year-on-year in January 2026 to $76.9 billion, the highest on record and the 12th straight month of double-digit growth, driven by strong global demand for AI and high-performance computing, particularly in ICT and electronic components. flag Orders for information and communications technology products surged 102%, while electronic components rose 78.6%. flag Machinery and traditional industries also saw gains, though some increases may reflect a lower base due to the Lunar New Year shift. flag Despite a slight monthly dip in growth, officials say sustained AI-driven demand supports the outlook, though risks from Middle East tensions and a global smartphone market contraction due to memory chip shortages remain.
