Taiwan’s export orders fell 4.0% in April compared to March levels, with orders from the US, China, Europe, Japan, and the ASEAN region all declining. According to data released on May 20 by the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) for April 2026, six of the seven major export categories saw month-on-month declines, including electronics and ICT products. However, the Ministry expects overall May orders to rebound from April, based on feedback from export-oriented manufacturers.
