Since its inception in 2017, the Taiwan Expo has emerged as a leading platform for Taiwanese businesses to explore new opportunities, exchange ideas, and forge partnerships in ASEAN, South Asia, and North America. Thus, the Expo is credited with being the premier online sourcing hub in ASEAN countries and India. It is a testament to Taiwan’s strong and long-term commitment to promoting a bilateral trade relationship with India.

According to the Taiwan government’s official data, India is its 16th-largest trading partner and 13th-largest export destination. It is interesting to note that the bilateral trade between India and Taiwan totaled $8.46 billion in 2022, representing an increase of 9.86% over 2021.
