TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Analysts forecast that Taiwan's export orders in July would grow to US$40 billion, contributing to the sixth consecutive month of growth, and that the number of export orders for the whole year will reach US$450 billion.

The Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) is scheduled to release a report this week on Taiwan's export orders in July, but forecasts on last month's figures are already out in local news.

Taiwan's electronics sector is likely to profit from the ever-growing array of new mobile devices to be rolled out by global brands in the remainder of the year, said analysts, adding that this will also work in favor of information and communication technology (ICT) companies.

As the market expects Apple Inc. to introduce the iPhone 6 later this year, Apple suppliers and contract manufacturers are expected to receive more business in the near future. A popular iPhone 6 may contribute to higher orders in the third and fourth quarters, said MOEA Statistics Department Director Lin Lee-jen (林麗貞).

Many electronics companies' export orders reached US$10 billion in July, Lin said. The MOEA Statistics Department forecast growing export orders for the ICT and electronics sectors in the second half of 2014.

Electronics products and ICT products account for a large portion of Taiwan's exports. The number of export orders in the two sectors totaled US$110.27 billion in the first half of 2014, comprising half of total export orders. With the two sectors looking good in the second half of the year, analysts are optimistic about Taiwan's export performance down the road.

Precision Instruments and Panels Still Underperform

Revenues of Taiwan's non-tech companies may also go up, thanks to a recovering global economy. Demand for steel products, plastic products and chemical products have shown substantial increase recently. Export orders for machinery have grown for five consecutive months.

With growing competition and reduced prices, orders for precision instruments are expected to decline, however. According to government officials, with lower demand for large panels, orders for precision instruments have declined for 14 consecutive months. With a high base period last year, it is unlikely that the sector will have seen growth in July.

According to the MOEA's survey, about 20 percent of firms expected to receive more orders in July than in June, while about 60 percent expect the same number, another 20 percent expect fewer orders. Nevertheless, the total number of orders in July will exceed that of June.

Optimism about Second Half of 2014

Export orders in June totaled US$38.82 billion, which represented a 10.6-percent growth year-on-year.

Export orders in the first half of 2014 totaled US$220.46 billion, hitting a new record, but analysts forecast that Taiwan's exports in the second half of the year will exceed those in the first half, as well as those in the same period last year.

As the global economy continues on track for recovery, many expect export orders to grow in July, contributing to a six-month growth streak.

With demand for laptops expected to grow in the near future, Taiwan's contract manufacturers are likely to benefit.

經濟事務部（MOEA）定於本週發布的七月份台灣出口訂單的報告，但預期上月的數字已經在當地的新聞。

台灣的電子業很可能從不斷增加的新的移動設備陣列利潤在今年剩餘時間將推出由全球知名品牌，分析師表示，並稱這也將有利於信息和通信技術（ICT）公司。

由於市場預計蘋果公司今年晚些時候推出了iPhone 6，蘋果的供應商和合同製造商有望獲得更多的業務在不久的將來。一種流行的iPhone 6也有助於在第三和第四季度較高的訂單，經濟部表示，統計處林處長李仁（林麗貞）。

許多電子公司的出口訂單在7月份達到10美元十億，林說。經濟部統計處預計在2014年下半年的信息通信技術和電子行業不斷增長的出口訂單。

電子產品及信息和通信技術產品佔台灣出口的很大一部分。在這兩個行業出口訂單的數量在2014年上半年總額達110.27十億，其中包括一半的總出口訂單。與這兩個部門好看在今年下半年，分析師們對台灣的出口表現在道路上持樂觀態度。

精密儀器和面板仍跑輸大市

台灣非科技公司的收入也可能上升，得益於全球經濟復甦。鋼鐵製品，塑料製品和化工產品的需求表現出大幅增長最近。機械出口訂單增長連續5個月。
