Electronic Components Industry Leads Profits; Operating Income Hits NT.17 Trillion with Over 40% Growth

Driven by the artificial intelligence (AI) boom, the individual net revenue of listed and OTC companies in 2025 grew by 9.5% year-on-year, with operating profit surging by 31.9%. The information and electronics sector was the primary driver for manufacturing revenue growth, specifically the electronic components industry, which recorded an operating profit of NT.1713 trillion and an operating margin of 29.7%, ranking highest across all industry sectors. According to the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), 1,757 companies were analyzed (excluding KY stocks, TDR, and financial institutions). Net revenue totaled NT7.18 trillion, and operating profit reached NT.26 trillion. Manufacturing accounted for over 80% of the total revenue scale, with computer, electronic, and optical products along with electronic components contributing 80% of manufacturing revenue. In the non-manufacturing sector, wholesale and retail industries benefited from emerging technology applications boosting demand for chips and memory. The transport and warehousing industry led non-manufacturing profits despite a decline due to lower container freight rates. The top 50 companies contributed over 70% of total revenue, indicating strong growth momentum among large-scale enterprises.
