The economic authorities of the Taiwan authorities pointed out on the 18th that thanks to the continuous growth of semiconductor packaging and testing and exports, the technology industrial park (formerly the processing export zone) has been growing its turnover for 24 consecutive months, reaching 255.56 billion yuan in the first half of 2022. Taiwan dollar, the same below), the good performance is 500 billion yuan for the whole year.
The processing office said that although the park was faced with the outbreak of the epidemic and other uncertainties in the first half of this year, the park’s revenue in the first half of the year increased by as much as 18% due to lack of chips, rising demand for information and communication, and substantial growth in output products such as golf balls. , imports and exports increased by 26% and 30% respectively, and the number of companies reached 730 for the first time.
In addition, the number of employees in the region has increased by about 3,500, and the total number is approaching 88,000, a new high in 34 years. According to the latest statistics, the park’s exports in July continued to hit a new high, reaching 1.788 billion US dollars.
The Processing Office further analyzed the situation of individual parks and pointed out that in the first half of this year, Nanzi Park, Pingtung Park and Kaohsiung Software Park performed the most.
Among them, Nanzi Park is an important base for global semiconductor packaging and testing. Affected by the surge in demand for chips from emerging technologies, revenue in the first half of the year increased by about 30% and trade volume increased by about 40%; Pingtung Park has benefited from the substantial growth of the US market. This year The annual output value is expected to exceed the 20 billion yuan mark.
Due to the outbreak of “zero-contact” business opportunities in Kaohsiung Software Park, the overall revenue in the first half of this year increased by 23%, of which key industries such as information software, digital content and smart applications even increased by 29.3%.
Yang Bogeng, director of the processing department, said that in addition to the impressive growth of IC packaging and testing, information and communications and other industries this year, emerging industries such as semiconductor equipment and raw materials, smart manufacturing and electric vehicles also performed well.
Yang Bogeng emphasized that the processing office will continue to deploy industrial innovation and upgrading, and expect to drive the operation of the park to a new peak, and actively promote the development plans of the second phase of Kaohsiung Software Park, the expansion area of ​​Pingtung Park, and the third park of Nanzi Park, so as to lay out the next phase of the park. A wave of growth momentum.
