Reasons to Buy

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.
