Taiwan’s economy grew at its fastest pace in 15 years, expanding 8.63% in 2025, driven by robust demand for tech products essential to artificial intelligence (AI) development, Bloomberg reported.
The growth exceeded economists’ expectations, surpassing the 7.5% median forecast in a Bloomberg survey, according to Taiwan’s statistics bureau.
Analysts attribute the surge to strong exports of semiconductors, hardware and other AI-enabling technologies, positioning Taiwan as a critical supplier in the global AI supply chain.
The data underscores Taiwan’s resilience amid global uncertainties and highlights the country’s pivotal role in fuelling the AI boom, with technology exports acting as a key engine of economic expansion.
