Fueled by an unprecedented surge in AI-related infrastructure projects, Taiwan's domestic construction materials leader reported record-breaking revenue for May — defying what is typically a seasonal slump for the concrete industry.
Despite Taiwan's traditional May downturn due to monsoon rains, the rise of large-scale AI data centers and semiconductor facility construction has transformed the market. As a result, Goldsun Building reported one of the strongest monthly performances in its history.
The group's total revenue for May reached NT$2.04 billion (approx. US$68 million), up 3.97% from a year ago. Cumulative revenue for the first five months of 2025 totaled NT$9.41 billion, marking a 5.49% year-over-year increase. Of particular note, the company's core domestic concrete business brought in NT$1.777 billion in May alone, a 4.52% annual increase — the second-highest monthly revenue in the segment's history.
Goldsun Building attributed its strong performance to the ongoing AI-driven construction wave, which includes numerous high-tech campuses, wafer fabs, and smart industrial parks across Taiwan. In Hsinchu — the heart of Taiwan's semiconductor ecosystem — chipmaker TSMC is planning four advanced 2-nanometer fabs and a research center in the Baoshan Phase II development. The completed P1 facility is already among the most advanced 2nm fabs in the country.
Goldsun Building's Hsinchu-area plants are actively supporting construction at TSMC's Baoshan Phase II, its advanced packaging site in Zhunan, and the Hsinchu County AI Park. These large-scale projects have become a key driver of the company's sustained revenue growth.
In addition to its core business, Goldsun Building is capitalizing on its extensive land holdings — totaling over 447,000 ping (approx. 1.48 million square meters) across Taiwan. One of its flagship developments is a major real estate project in Taipei's Nangang district, positioned in the city's emerging Gateway core in the East district and adjacent to the Nangang transportation hub, which integrates four major rail systems.
Scheduled for completion around the end of 2027, the Nangang development is expected to generate long-term, stable revenue and enhance the group's strategic presence in one of Taipei's most coveted urban redevelopment zones.
Goldsun Building also noted its ongoing investments in AI and low-carbon innovation across its industrial operations, aligning with the construction needs of Taiwan's evolving tech landscape and the global push toward more sustainable infrastructure.
