The Arms Trade Reversal: Taiwan Is Now Selling Drones to the U.S. Military

Taiwan is leveraging its robust ICT manufacturing base and China-free supply chains to sell domestically produced drones to the U.S. military. The island's drone industry hit NT$12.9 billion in 2024—2.5 times growth year-on-year—and has set a NT$40 billion target for 2030. The United States has already become Taiwan's third-largest drone export market.
