Taiwan's largest and oldest abacus manufacturer, Strong Stationery Co., has sold an average of 200,000 abacuses per year since 1961. Sales figures have held steady throughout, the only change being a rising demand for quality following Taiwan's economic development. Current demand for Japanese imports have already surpassed the number of abacuses assembled in Taiwan.
以台灣最大、牌子最老的自強牌文具公司為例，自民國五十年至今，卅年來每年平均賣掉廿萬個算盤，銷售數字不曾下墜，改變的只是隨經濟發展而來的對品質的要求，目前日本進口貨的需求量，已超過在台組裝的算盤。
