Taiwan, China: Consumer Profile

July 2026

Taiwan’s population peaked at 23.4 million in 2025 and will fall to 21.8 million by 2040 with a 6.7% decline. The defining forces shaping the consumer landscape in Taiwan are the world’s lowest fertility rate, a rapidly ageing society and extremely high housing costs. However, the consumer base benefits from high incomes, exceptionally high savings rates and a semiconductor-driven economy.
