Taiwan's rebar exports totaled around 11,200 tons in May, a significant jump compared to just 120 tons exported in May of last year.

For the first five months of this year, cumulative rebar exports amounted to roughly 27,000 metric tons, more than tripling the nearly 8,000 tons exported during the same period last year.

In May, Australia accounted for the majority of Taiwan's rebar shipments, receiving around 11,000 tons. From January to May, Australia imported about 25,300 tons, with smaller quantities also going to Guam, Hong Kong, and Canada. This contrasted sharply with the first five months of 2024, when total exports were 19,100 tons lower, though Australia was still the leading market.
