Taiwan’s exports continued their strong upswing in September 2026, with year-over-year growth accelerating to 60.9%, according to data updated on 8 October 2026. This marks a sharp increase from August 2026, when exports had already posted a robust 41.0% year-over-year gain.
The figures highlight a significant strengthening in external demand compared with the same period a year earlier. Under the year-over-year comparison, the “previous” reading reflects the change in August exports versus August of the prior year, while the “actual” September reading compares exports in September 2026 to September a year earlier. The jump from 41.0% to 60.9% suggests that Taiwan’s export sector not only maintained momentum but accelerated notably as the third quarter drew to a close.
With September’s result, Taiwan’s export performance stands out as a key support for overall economic activity, underscoring the importance of external markets for the country’s growth prospects heading into the final quarter of 2026.
