Key Market Issues
- The growth of the Taiwanese defense industry is hampered by project delays associated with the global financial crisis, which have led to cost overruns and the cancellation of certain projects. Despite seeking to increase its defense budget to 3% of GDP, the country's 2011 defense budget is estimated at just 2.0% of GDP, primarily due to the financial constraints faced by the country. As a result, certain acquisition programs have either been postponed or cancelled. All these factors discourage investors from entering the Taiwanese defense market.
- Despite possessing the capabilities to manufacture and export small weapons to the global defense market, the country has been unsuccessful in establishing itself as an exporter of defense equipment. Countries such as Vietnam and Indonesia have expressed an interest in procuring Taiwanese gunpowder, but stringent regulations prevent the country from exporting gunpowder to these nations.
Key Highlights
- Conflict arising out of the People's Republic of China (PRC)'s efforts to bring Republic of China (Taiwan) under its control has marred the relationship between both countries since the end of Chinese civil war. Both PRC and Taiwan have been claimants to the sovereignty over all of ""One China"", including mainland China, Outer Mongolia, and Taiwan since 1949. PRC considers Taiwan as its 23rd province and threatened to use military force if Taiwan tries to declare independence. PRC has a history of using missiles to intimidate Taiwan's government and increased the number of ballistic and cruise missiles deployed along the Taiwan Strait to more than 1,600 by 2012.
- Taiwan has been facing the issue of human trafficking for over a decade with men and children trafficked into the country for forced labor and women for sexual exploitation. People from China, Vietnam, and Cambodia are in the majority for exploitation by human trafficking gangs in the country. Cross strait human trafficking has been the major problem for Taiwan, as its ports have been used as transit points for victims being trafficked from China to the US. In 2012 only, the country identified 462 trafficking victims, of which 152 were victims of labor trafficking and 310 of sex trafficking, most of them Indonesian and Vietnamese. To prevent this, Taiwan will have to invest significantly in surveillance and intelligence technologies such as electronic identification documents, e-passports, automated border crossing systems, and CCTV (closed circuit television) systems during the forecast period.
- Taiwanese defense imports witnessed substantial growth during the period 2008-2012. Imports in 2008 and 2009 were low due to the delayed deliveries by the US, which was under the pressure from PRC. In 2009, to compensate for the delay of imports by the US, Taiwan started importing engines from Germany. The US resumed the exports of defense equipment to Taiwan from 2010 onwards, which peaked in 2012. Over the period 2013-2018, the US is expected to remain the largest exporter of defense equipment as other countries are reluctant to supply military equipment and antagonize PRC.
