In the richness of cultures and awe-inspiring landscapes, Taiwan surprises with its phenomenon in the multi-level marketing sphere. An astonishing 12% of the population, or 3 million people, is part of MLM, making Taiwan the world's tenth-largest MLM market. The industry annually aggregates NT$83 billion, or nearly US$2.75 billion, mainly from dietary supplements traded in enormous amounts.
Despite all the pressure and criticism, the MLM business in Taiwan has been booming under strict regulation targeting genuine sales instead of quantity recruitments. With such a very healthy mix of severe control and entrepreneurial vigor, Taiwan presents itself as a rising opportunity for MLM ventures. There are over 3,610,000 independent distributors actively taking part in direct selling businesses in Taiwan. As a result, the region’s annual retail sales were recorded at $4530 million as per the WFDSA 2023 report. Out of which the major sales were generated from the wellness sector, which was 66%, followed by 18% from the cosmetics and personal care sector. Household goods and durables, homecare, and clothing and accessories sectors also contributed 6%, 3%, and 2% respectively to the Taiwan’s total retail sales.
According to WFDSA 2023, 72% of the direct sellers in Taiwan are women whereas only 37% of women have opted for sole proprietorship. They are also looking forward in 2024 with 46% of direct selling companies expecting an improvement in their revenue growth. Also, the 2024 projections hold some tension with 40% of companies forecasting flat sales and another 14% fearing a decline.
In this blog, we are going to explore the best-performing MLM companies in Taiwan.
