Taiwan’s manufacturing sector strengthened further in September 2026, with the S&P Global Manufacturing PMI rising to 56.70, up from 54.70 in August 2026. The latest reading, released on 1 October 2026, signals a faster expansion in factory activity and keeps the index firmly in growth territory above the 50-point threshold.
The two-point gain suggests improving conditions across Taiwan’s industrial base, pointing to solid demand and ongoing recovery in production. With September marking a second consecutive month of robust expansion, the data underline growing momentum in the manufacturing economy heading into the final quarter of 2026.
