Consumer electronics in 2025: The big picture
Consumer electronics in Taiwan returned to slight growth in 2025 following a weaker 2024, supported by a gradual recovery in consumer spending and new product launches powered by AI-driven innovation. Taiwanese consumers remained cautious with discretionary spending, as outbound travel and economic uncertainty limited overall demand. Nevertheless, interest in premium features, smarter functionality, and products linked to health and entertainment helped sustain momentum in certain categories.
2025 key trends
Market saturation and slower replacement cycles pushed leading players to highlight innovation as the key differentiator. AI integration became central to new launches, promising personalised experiences across devices – from smart wearables that track health with precision to smart TVs that adjust content and audio based on user preferences.
Competitive landscape
Apple remained the leading player in consumer electronics in Taiwan in 2025, supported by its integrated ecosystem spanning smartphones, laptops, wearables, wireless speakers, and accessories. Its strong brand loyalty and premium positioning allowed it to hold share despite cautious spending. Samsung retained second place with its wide product portfolio, competitive pricing, and strong reputation for battery performance, while OPPO and Xiaomi maintained visibility with affordable smartphones and wearables targeting younger demographics.
Channel developments
E-commerce continued to gain share in 2025 as Taiwanese consumers, who initially turned to online channels during the pandemic, maintained these habits. While brick-and-mortar stores still mattered for product demonstrations and after-sales support, many consumers embraced an “omnichannel” journey – researching or testing in-store, then buying online to take advantage of promotions.
What next for consumer electronics?
Looking ahead, consumer electronics in Taiwan is projected to remain relatively stable, with growth concentrated in select categories such as wearables, headphones, wireless speakers, and gaming-related computers. Maturity in core categories like smartphones and laptops will weigh on overall performance, while DVD players, portable media players, and in-car entertainment systems will continue to decline due to substitution by multifunctional devices.
