Qiu Xili, director of the Industrial Expansion Department of the Foreign Trade Association, said that the beauty industry in Taiwan has grown at a rate of 13.32% in the past three years. Last year, the export volume reached 832 million US dollars, an annual growth of 11.33%, which is better than Taiwan’s overall export growth rate to the world. 5.9%.
