台湾在半导体供应链中占据独特且不可或缺的地位，提供了全球大部分智慧型手机、自动驾驶、人工智慧及国防安全所需的高阶晶片；在台湾证券交易所的上市公司中，半导体与科技硬体企业的市值占比已高达78%，显示出高度的产业集中性。
美国科技巨头对台湾供应商的依赖程度延续上升，例如辉达（Nvidia）将近三分之二的生产成本支付给台湾企业，而博通（Broadcom）、超微（AMD）和高通（Qualcomm）也有约三分之一的生产成本流向台湾；其中，台积电作为全球市值第六大的公司，成为美台贸易的最大受益者。
Although Taiwan's economy ranks 21st globally in size, it achieved a robust GDP growth of 8.8% in 2025 and is projected to expand by 9.5% in 2026, fueled by a surge in semiconductor and electronic exports to the US, which surpassed China's exports to the US for the first time since 1992.
Taiwan holds a unique and indispensable position in the semiconductor supply chain, manufacturing the majority of advanced chips required for smartphones, autonomous driving, artificial intelligence, and national security, with semiconductor and technology companies accounting for 78% of the market value on the Taiwan Stock Exchange.
US tech giants are increasingly dependent on Taiwanese suppliers, with Nvidia paying nearly two-thirds of its production costs to Taiwan firms, and Broadcom, AMD, and Qualcomm sending about one-third of their production costs to Taiwan; among them, TSMC has emerged as the biggest beneficiary of this bilateral trade.
