In Taiwan’s fast-changing market, speed and precision are the keys to success in digital marketing. Whether you run a small brand or a large enterprise, falling even one step behind your competitors could mean missing out on huge business opportunities.
Today, Apexia, as a professional digital marketing consultant, takes you deep into the hottest digital marketing trends in Taiwan that you should know — before it’s too late.
1. Social Commerce Booming on Local Platforms
In Taiwan, selling through Facebook, Instagram, LINE Official Account, and local platforms like Shopee Taiwan and PChome is becoming increasingly popular.
Successful businesses focus on:
- Using Live Commerce to sell interactively via livestreams
- Creating short-form content on Reels/TikTok to build rapid awareness
- Leveraging LINE Chatbots to answer inquiries and close sales
Why start now: Taiwanese users spend over 2 hours daily on social media, and more than 70% have purchased products through it.
Apexia Tip: A well-planned content calendar can help you close deals faster.
2. Micro-Influencer Marketing on the Rise
More Taiwanese brands are turning to Micro-Influencers (5,000–50,000 followers) because:
- They cost less than Macro-Influencers
- They build stronger trust and engagement with their niche audience
- They work well for specialized products like local delicacies or niche cosmetics
Apexia Insight: Choose influencers whose audience aligns with your product and use engagement analysis tools to filter before investing.
3. Short-Form Videos as the Main Attention Grabber
Platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels dominate the content landscape in Taiwan.
Effective marketing strategies include:
- Creating concise 15–30 second videos
- Using Traditional Chinese subtitles so viewers understand even without sound
- Ending with a clear call-to-action, such as “Click this link for a discount” or “Message us on LINE to order”
Apexia Perspective: Brands that invest in quality short-form video production today will enjoy lower cost per reach (CPR) than competitors in the long term.
4. Data-Driven Marketing and AI Personalization
Taiwanese businesses are starting to use AI and Big Data to analyze consumer behavior, including:
- Recommending products customers are most likely to buy
- Sending personalized promotions via LINE or email
- Identifying the best posting times and content for maximum sales
Advantage: Companies that collect and use customer data effectively can boost repeat purchases more easily.

5. Localized Marketing Becoming More Important
Although Taiwan is small, purchasing behavior in Taipei, Kaohsiung, Taichung, and other cities varies significantly.
Effective strategies include:
- Tailoring marketing content to local language and culture
- Running location-based ads to target specific regional audiences
