Taiwan’s Hand Tool Exports to the U.S. Remain High; Taiwanese Firms Retain Competitive Edge Under Trump's Tariff

Taiwan's hand tool industry boasts a comprehensive supply chain and has long relied on the U.S. and Europe as its primary export markets. Facing the tariff increase imposed by the U.S., most industry players report that they have not yet received instructions from clients to adjust orders, but are concerned that higher tariffs will push up end-user prices and affect demand. Taiwan’s main competitors are Chinese manufacturers, but Taiwanese firms still hold a competitive advantage over their Chinese counterparts, and the U.S. lacks local suppliers. For digital hand tool maker Eclatorq Technology, about 65% of its sales go to the U.S. Production remains normal for now, and future shipments will be adjusted according to customer shipping schedules. The company points out that digital hand tools have higher unit prices and gross margins, so the impact of tariffs is relatively limited. With 90% of revenue coming from direct customers and no substitute products in the market, end-user prices can be 8 to 10 times the purchase price. Thus, increased costs for DIY products are manageable, while price hikes for professional-grade products may occur, but demand is usually stable. Taiwan exports about USD 2.5 billion in hand tools to the U.S. annually, accounting for 50% of its total exports. While short-term profits may decline, the industry's competitiveness remains stronger than China's.
