Taiwan鈥檚 export orders rise on iPhone 6
Print Edition
BOOMING shipments of the iPhone 6 helped Taiwan’s export orders jump 12.7 percent in September year on year to a record US$43.3 billion.
It marked an eighth straight month of growth in export orders for the tech-rich island, authorities said in a statement yesterday.
Orders for information and mobile devices rose 16.3 percent from a year earlier to US$12.9 billion, “mainly due to the launch of international brand name mobile devices that led to the significant increase of orders,” the statement said.
Hon Hai — the parent company of Foxconn and the world’s largest computer components manufacturer — assembles products for Apple.
Its revenue surged 22.95 percent year on year in September to NT$415.4 billion (US$13.66 billion).
Media reports say local firms Pegatron Corp worked on the assembly of the new iPhone and TSMC — the world’s biggest contract microchip maker — manufactured its chips, although neither company has confirmed the contracts.
Authorities also credited rising demand for laptop computers for the boost in orders. The island’s companies produce laptops for a range of major brands including HP, Dell and Lenovo, while Acer alone has a 10.8 percent global market share, according to Taipei-based Digitimes Research.
