Currently industry in Taiwan is in the early stages of nanotech applications, for the most part just researching and developing various kinds of nanomaterials and products that make use of them. Most of the products are consumer goods. Nanotech represents a new road for traditional industries. It's no wonder that mainland Chinese academics have referred to it as "new spice for traditional industry."
目前台灣產業界對奈米科技的應用還停留在非常初步的層次上，以各式各樣奈米級材料的研發和應用為主，推出來的產品也以民生用品為主，奈米科技已為傳統產業的升級開了一條新路，難怪中國大陸學者把它稱為「傳統產業的味精」。
