Overview of Industrial
Development
1 Output Value
Holding the manufacturing systems of several communications products,
Taiwan is one of the key players in the global communications industry. The
output value of Taiwan's communication equipment industry (including network
communication equipment and personal mobile devices) was NT$997.9 billion
in 2019, dropping 1.8% from 2018. The continued expansion of demand from
Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud applications, as well as the development of
emerging technologies such as network virtualization, LPWAN, AI, 5G and Edge
computing are expected to boost the demand for wired/wireless communication
products. In 2020. Taiwan's communications industry can therefore expect to
grow once again to NT$1016.9 billion for an annual growth rate of 1.9%.
