Taiwan’s industrial production growth decelerated sharply in February 2026, with output rising 17.83% year-over-year, down from a robust 28.51% gain in January 2026. The figures, updated on 24 March 2026, highlight a notable moderation in the pace of expansion after a strong start to the year.

Both January and February readings are measured on a year-over-year basis, comparing each month’s industrial output to the same month a year earlier. While February’s result still points to solid growth in Taiwan’s industrial sector, the pullback from January’s elevated rate suggests that the earlier surge in activity may be normalizing rather than accelerating further.

The latest data will be closely watched by investors and policymakers for signs of how sustainable Taiwan’s industrial momentum is in 2026, particularly against the backdrop of global demand shifts and evolving supply chain conditions.
