GEARING TOWARDS POPULARITY OF AUTO PARTS
The Department of Trade and Industry has been proactive in pursuing the vision of the auto parts industry, which is to strengthen the position of the Philippines as a significant automotive player in the medium term and become a regional hub for vehicles and auto parts in Asia supported by a strong domestic supplier base.
It also listed the industry's objectives, which are:
To develop an internationally competitive and viable automotive parts industry, in terms of product range, price, quality, and on-time delivery;
To enhance value-added and local capabilities in the automotive parts industry through improvement of processes, technology, and human capital; and
To promote export-oriented parts and components manufacturers.
As a product, automotive is complex, with large number of parts and components (textiles, glass, plastics, electronics, rubber, steel, and other metals) involving different production processes. Hence, the promotion of the automotive industry can lead to an expansion of many complementary investments by automotive parts firms, particularly because the automotive industry is a highly global industry, technology-driven and competition is intense among its players.
Currently, the Philippines’ domestic auto parts industry is composed of 256 companies producing around 330 different parts and components. With 4 Japanese automakers operating in the country, the industry represents some growing agglomeration economies in the Laguna and Cavite area.
