Use the visually verified 2024 actual bar, US$165.6 billion. The chart’s 2025(e) US$207.8 billion is an estimate for the next year and is explicitly excluded. This is IC-industry output value, not exports, foundry-only revenue, GDP value added or a global share.

Store the directly published 2025 annual production value after exact Chinese-large-number unit conversion: NT$2兆7,938億元 = NT$2.7938 trillion. The official yearbook retains the Taiwan-Fujian-area (台閩地區) industrial-statistics survey scope and the same industry label. The 2025 yearbook revises its 2024 comparator to NT$1.6800 trillion versus the NT$1.721 trillion published in the prior yearbook; this batch records that revision context but does not silently rewrite the superseded 2024 formal point. This is production value, not exports, corporate revenue or GDP value added.
