The import value was NTD4.6 billion, 2% increase from the record in 2011. The local market demand was NTD13.1 billion. As for the average export unit price, it was NTD81.6/kg. Although the car market and house market were both benefited by U.S. recovery in 2012, which also boosted the fastener export of Taiwan to the U.S., European debt crisis slashing on the core countries like Germany, UK, and France as well as the economic slowdown of China all led to the slight recession of Taiwan fastener export.
