Semiconductor, Electronics Drive Growth: OTC Companies' March Revenue Up 22%
Taiwan's over-the-counter (OTC) listed companies saw their March revenue increase by 22% year-on-year, reaching NT$320.3 billion, primarily driven by the semiconductor, computer and peripheral equipment, and other electronics industries. For the entire first quarter, revenue grew by 19% year-on-year to NT$852 billion. The semiconductor industry benefited from increased demand in high-end storage and memory markets, while other electronics benefited from AI server cooling demand and rising precious metal prices. Conversely, sports and leisure, textile, and shipping industries experienced revenue declines due to international instability and intensified competition.
