Real exports grew 8.9% in 2024, compared with 4.6% real GDP growth.
This statistic isolates how strongly exports pulled Taiwan’s 2024 economy. Real exports of goods and services rose 8.9%, while real GDP grew 4.6%, leaving a 4.3 percentage-point gap. The view is a single-year benchmark, not a full cycle chart, so it should be read as an official growth snapshot.

The graphic uses one-year DGBAS growth values. A fuller 5–7 point annual series would be better for a multi-line trend graphic.
The growth gap equals annual real exports of goods and services growth minus annual real GDP growth. Values use DGBAS national-accounts reporting for 2024.
Use one DGBAS national-accounts series for both lines. Avoid mixing customs export growth with real GDP growth in the final published graphic.
