Taiwan export seasonality by market

What the Data Shows

Seasonality shows where demand surges were concentrated during Taiwan’s artificial-intelligence export boom. United States-bound exports had the sharpest selected-month rise, while China/Hong Kong stayed larger early in the year but lower than the United States late in 2025. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) peaked earlier in July, and Europe peaked in December. The comparison is same-source and fits a compact multi-line chart.
