According to the Taiwan Textile Federation, exports of textiles and apparel remained flat in 2018 with a rise of 0.01% over the previous year to US$10,074 million.

Exports to Vietnam (the largest market) maintained strong exports of spun yarn thanks to increasing investments in the midstream sector. Meanwhile, exports to other major markets (China, the U.S., Hong Kong and Indonesia) decreased.
