Taiwan Market Outlook 2026

Economy & Policy

Taiwan’s GDP is projected to expand by 7.71% y-o-y in 2026 on the back of the strong development of AI technology. The Central Bank will likely hold policy rates steady, while the Middle East conflict may push up inflation.

Office

Despite an expected increase in relocation activity driven by flight to quality, a sizable volume of new completions means average vacancy is projected to rise to 8.9%. Landlords will come under stronger pressure to secure tenants.

Retail & Logistics

Modest growth in household spending will encourage selected retailers to open new stores this year. With more retailers putting an emphasis on distribution efficiency, demand for advanced warehouses will increase further.

Investment

With real estate investors set to adopt a cautious stance, and owner-occupiers expected to remain active in purchasing industrial assets, commercial real estate transaction volume is forecasted to remain stable over 2026.
