Taiwan's complete structure in the electronics industry provides a solid foundation for its sporting goods manufacturing industry because companies do not have to search far for the latest IT technologies to support manufacturing of high added-value sporting goods. |

And this is one area that has let Taiwan manufacturers successfully push out front of other lower level producers. |
| 3. | Global deployment provides price advantage Taiwan is Asia's sporting goods design and development hub with manufacturing bases across Asia.
