Taiwan's semiconductor industry is expected to see a 22.2% growth in output value to NT$6.5 trillion ($216.67 billion) in 2025, up from a previous estimate of 19.1%, driven by strong global demand for AI applications. TSMC, the world's largest contract chipmaker, has raised its sales growth forecast to 30% in 2025. The IC manufacturing sector is expected to generate NT$4.36 trillion in output, up 27.5% from a year earlier.
Taiwan's semiconductor industry is poised for robust growth in 2025, with an expected 22.2% increase in output value to NT$6.5 trillion ($216.67 billion), up from a previous estimate of 19.1% [1]. This growth is driven by strong global demand for AI applications, a trend that is expected to continue.Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), the world's largest contract chipmaker, has raised its sales growth forecast to 30% for 2025 [2]. The company's revenue in July 2025 jumped 22.5% quarter-over-quarter and 25.8% year-over-year, fueled by AI demand [3]. TSMC's shares gained ~5% after Taiwan confirmed its exemption from Trump's proposed 100% chip tariffs due to U.S. factory investments [4].
The IC manufacturing sector is expected to generate NT$4.36 trillion in output, up 27.5% from a year earlier [1]. The government is confident that U.S. tariffs, set to commence in August, will be temporary and is negotiating for a better deal. Taiwan's exports are expected to rise between 17% and 22% year-on-year in August, driven by strong demand for AI-related and other tech products [2].
The overall economic and trade outlook remains unstable, requiring close monitoring of future developments [2]. Uncertainties such as international trade tensions, policy changes, and geopolitical risks continue to affect the global supply chain.
