Taiwan’s three science parks reported revenues totaling NT$5.8 trillion (US$182.1 billion) in 2025, up 21.83 percent year on year, the National Science and Technology Council said March 11.
The NSTC attributed the performance, the strongest on record, to the country’s comprehensive semiconductor supply chain, as well the local high-tech sector’s continuous efforts to expand R&D investment and capacity utilization.
Among the three sites, revenues for the Southern Taiwan Science Park soared 34.26 percent to NT$2.97 trillion, while the numbers for the Hsinchu Science Park and Central Taiwan Science Park went up 12.25 percent to NT$1.7 trillion and 9.29 percent to NT$1.13 trillion, respectively.
According to the council, the international trend toward developing technologies such as generative artificial intelligence and high-performance computation is bolstering global demand for AI chips and benefiting semiconductor industries.
A breakdown of the revenue figures shows that the local integrated circuit sector registered the strongest growth rate of 26.8 percent, and the precision machinery sector also reported a gain of 24.73 percent, followed by the biotechnology sector at 11.73 percent.
Though the computer peripherals and information communications technology sectors both saw double-digit declines as a result of production relocation and geopolitical challenges, the NSTC is optimistic about the chance for improvement.
While uncertainties still remain, the council said the economy remains on the growth track and science park revenues are poised to pick up further. (SFC-E)
