MARKET OF THE MONTH: TAIWAN

Source: R.O.C. Ministry of Transportation & Communications

The island market of Taiwan, which purchased $21.2 billion worth of U.S. goods and services in 2005, is a U.S. product-buying powerhouse. Taiwan possesses a robust market economy, which belies its relatively small population and scant natural resources. The world’s 19th largest economy is the U.S.’ eighth largest trading partner and is home to a world-renowned high-tech sector. Furthermore, with one of the highest per capita GDP and household disposable income rates in Asia, Taiwan has become a very attractive consumer market for U.S. exporters.
