Retail Savings and Investments in Taiwan – Coronavirus (COVID-19) Sector Impact

Powered by

All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.

The Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak, dubbed COVID-19, is first and foremost a human tragedy, affecting millions of people globally. The contagious Coronavirus, which broke out at the close of 2019, has led to a medical emergency across the world, with the World Health Organization officially declaring the novel Coronavirus a pandemic on March 11, 2020.

Fears surrounding the impact of COVID-19 have already significantly impacted the global economy, with most of the countries across the world registering declines in their economic growth for the year to date. Many economists and institutions have cut their forecasts as a number of countries officially slipped into recession in Q1 2020.

Despite its close proximity with China, Taiwan’s robust measures have effectively contained the virus – with the country reporting just over 480 confirmed cases and seven deaths. The island nation has not imposed any lockdown, but its significant trade exposure to China is hurting its economy. The central bank has lowered the country’s GDP growth forecast for 2020 to 1.52%, down from the previous estimate of 1.92%, due to a decrease in domestic consumption and exports in the first half of the year. However, as the country moves towards normalization, a gradual recovery will be seen in the second half of the year.

This report focuses on the impact of the coronavirus outbreak on the Taiwanese economy and the country’s retail savings and investment market. It also highlights the measures adopted by the government to combat COVID-19. Based on our proprietary datasets, the snap shot contrasts GlobalData’s pre-COVID-19 forecasts and revised forecasts of total retail bond, deposits, equities and mutual funds holdings in terms of value and growth rates. It also analyses the effects on HNW wealth, examining the importance of different industries as a contributor to HNW wealth.

Scope

– Taiwan’s retail savings and investments are forecast to mostly remain stagnant over the course of 2020 due to the economic impacts of COVID-19, but strong economic fundamentals and an effective handling of the crisis will see growth bounce back to 8.0% in 2021. Although the country’s flagship index grew pasts its pre-COVID-19 level between April and July, investor confidence remains weak due to uncertainties regarding a rebound of global economic activity, as many economies are already experiencing a second wave of virus infections. Retail equity and mutual fund holdings are expected to take the brunt of the economy’s slowdown, with respective declines of 18.5% and 12.2% anticipated in 2020.

– Retail deposits and bond holdings are set to fare better than initially expected courtesy of a flight to safety away from risk assets. According to the Central Bank of the Republic of China (Taiwan), household savings saw positive growth in the first six months of the year, with demand deposits rising by 5.6% between January and June 2020. However, more pronounced declines in risk asset holdings mean our total retail holdings forecast for 2020 is 3.0 percentage points lower than before the onset of COVID-19.

– HNW wealth is forecast to grow by only 0.6% during 2020. However, the effects on the different segments that make up the HNW market will be disproportionate. The healthcare sector – the largest contributor to HNW wealth – is expected to hold up more robustly, as indicated by the 6.6% increase of the Biotechnology and Medical Care Index for the year to August 3, 2020.

– Also working in Taiwan’s favor is the tech sector, which has experienced a robust boost in high-tech device exports as the pandemic has forced people across the world to work remotely.

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
