Taiwan ASEAN partner concentration, 2025

Top-three partners made up 80.9% of Taiwan exports to ASEAN in 2025.

What the Data Shows

ASEAN is often described as a regional diversification lane for Taiwan. The partner-level numbers show that the exposure is actually concentrated in a narrow Singapore-Malaysia-Viet Nam triangle. That matters because regional diversification can still carry concentrated partner risk.

Data notes & caveats

ASEAN values are goods trade only. Viet Nam spelling follows MOF/ASEAN convention when used in source tables.

Methodology

Top-three concentration equals the sum of top-three partner exports or imports divided by Taiwan's total exports or imports to ASEAN in 2025. Partner values use the supplied official MOF workbook extraction; ASEAN totals are cross-checked to MOF annual trade data.

Source consistency notes

Partner values and regional totals are MOF-based; exact partner values should be rechecked if a future workbook extract is available.
