Taiwan’s industrial production surged 28.51% year-over-year in January 2026, strengthening from a revised 23.07% increase in December 2025, according to data updated on 5 March 2026. The latest figures underscore a sustained and accelerating rebound in the island’s industrial sector.
Both the current and previous readings are measured on a year-over-year basis, comparing each month’s output to the same month a year earlier. The step-up in January’s growth suggests that underlying industrial momentum continued to build at the start of 2026, following already robust expansion at the end of 2025.
The stronger January performance indicates that Taiwan’s industrial base is not only recovering but expanding at an increasing pace, a dynamic that will be closely watched by investors and policymakers tracking the health of the broader economy.
