Taiwanese Garment Giants Shift Global Production for 2026

As U.S. reciprocal tariff policies become clearer, major international brands are restructuring their supply chains. Leading Taiwanese manufacturers—including Eclat, Makalot, Quang Viet, and Grand Ocean—are launching major expansion plans for 2026, focusing on Indonesia, Bangladesh, and Jordan.

Key Market Drivers

• Tariff Advantages: Manufacturers are moving production to regions with lower reciprocal tariff rates (e.g., Jordan at 15% vs. Indonesia/Vietnam at 19–20%).
• De-globalization: Companies are diversifying production hubs to mitigate geopolitical risks and meet urgent customer demands for regional supply.
• Labor Costs: Indonesia and Bangladesh remain attractive due to their abundant and relatively low-cost labor force.
