The period from 2019 to 2024 witnessed substantial growth, driven by factors such as rising disposable incomes, a growing middle class with increased spending power, and the increasing adoption of digital technologies. While precise market size figures for 2019-2024 are unavailable, industry reports and economic indicators suggest a steady upward trajectory. Assuming a conservative average annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4% during this period, and a 2025 market size of approximately $NT 4 trillion (based on publicly available data for similar economies), we can estimate the 2019 market size to have been around $NT 3.2 trillion. Looking ahead to the forecast period (2025-2033), the industry is poised for continued expansion, albeit at a potentially moderated pace. Factors such as evolving consumer preferences (towards experiences and sustainability), the persistent impact of global economic uncertainty, and increasing competition from both domestic and international players will influence the growth rate. A projected CAGR of 3% for the 2025-2033 period, a slightly lower rate reflecting market maturity and potential headwinds, seems reasonable. This implies that the market size could reach approximately $NT 5.5 trillion by 2033.
