USDTWD.ai Taiwan Macro Atlas

Taiwan’s Largest Capacitor Import Suppliers, 2024

Aggregated World Bank trade subheadings rank capacitor import partners by value.

What the Data Shows

This statistic shows Taiwan’s passive-component supply base rather than another headline semiconductor figure. Japan and China are the two largest capacitor suppliers, together accounting for almost 70% of the aggregated table total. Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand fill out the top five. The ranking gives a quick visual read on where an ordinary but essential electronics input comes from.

Data table

Japan $818.6M 38.3%
China $674.6M 31.6%
Indonesia $251.7M 11.8%
Malaysia $133.1M 6.2%
Thailand $82M 3.8%
Japan plus China share 69.9% Sum of WITS capacitor subheading imports.
Top-five share 91.7% Aggregated by partner.

Data notes & caveats

Aggregation uses the listed capacitor subheadings only. Values are source table US$ thousands converted to compact dollar labels.

Methodology

Aggregate the supplied 2024 capacitor subheading tables by partner, then rank the five largest import partners by US$ value.

Source consistency notes

All figures are calculated from World Bank World Integrated Trade Solution customs-code 8532 subheading tables for the same reporter, year, flow and units.
