Affected by the continuous weakness of global inflation and end product demand, Taiwan ’s industrial production index in May this year has developed negative growth for 12 consecutive months.
According to the Taiwan Industry and Commerce Times, the Taiwan Economic Affairs Ministry of Economic Affairs announced the latest industrial production data on Monday (June 26), showing that the Taiwan industrial production index in May was 85.03, a year -on -year decrease of 15.73%; in MayThe index was 84.22, a year -on -year decrease of 16.42%.The industrial and manufacturing production indexes have been negatively increased for 12 consecutive months.
From the perspective of the industry, in terms of the information electronic industry, due to the downturn of end product demand and the continuous adjustment of the semiconductor supply chain inventory, the annual decrease of the electronic component industry is 24.40 %.The growth trend of relevant testing equipment has led to the decline in production such as mobile device lenses, automatic testing equipment, and semiconductor testing equipment.
However, the demand for information centers and related equipment continues to grow, driving exchangers and servers to increase production, and large -size panel inventory has also returned to a healthy level and volume and price recovery.
In terms of traditional industry index, due to the weak market consumption capacity, the industrial chain continues to de -inventive inventory, and the low willingness to invest, resulting in the chemical materials, fertilizer industry, and basic metal industries have been reduced for 18 consecutive months, machinery and equipmentThe industry declined for 13 consecutive months.
Huang Weijie, deputy director of the Statistics Department of the Taiwan Economic Affairs Department, said that with the continuous expansion of emerging technology applications such as high -efficiency computing, artificial intelligence, and vehicle electronics, it will help to raise the production momentum of Taiwan's manufacturing production.However, uncertain factors such as global inflation and interest rate hikes, as well as the Russian -Ukraine War and the Sino -US scientific and technological disputes, may curb Taiwan's manufacturing production performance.
He estimates that the manufacturing production index in Taiwan in June falls between 79.36 and 83.36, and the manufacturing production index in the second quarter falls between 79.9 and 81.23. The manufacturing production index estimates in the first half of the yearIt was 80.97 to 81.64, with an annual decrease of 18.2 % to 18.9 %.
