Taiwan’s manufacturing engine is running faster than ever, and AI is doing most of the work. According to figures released by the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) on April 23, the headline industrial production index reached 136.90 in March 2026, up 26.35% from February and 28.68% from a year earlier.
