Taiwan's import growth experienced a significant deceleration in December 2025, according to the latest data updated on January 9th, 2026. The rate of increase in imports registered a decline to 14.90%, a stark contrast to the 45.00% growth rate recorded in November 2025. This marks a considerable slowdown over the year for the December YoY import figures.

The latest figures indicate that the rapid pace of import growth, which characterized Taiwan's trade landscape in previous months, has considerably weakened. The comparison is drawn by examining the year-over-year changes, with November showing a vibrant increase from November 2024, whereas December's increase is much more subdued compared to December 2024 figures.

The data reflects broader economic trends as Taiwan adapts to shifts in global trade dynamics and regional economic conditions in late 2025. The easing import demand might be indicative of a strategic adjustment within Taiwan's import policies or reflect changes in external economic factors impacting the island's economy. Analysts will be closely monitoring Taiwan's trade activity in the coming months to better understand underlying causes and future projections for 2026.
