Pasay City, Philippines — Following the record-high sales of vehicles in the Philippines in 2023, the sectors for automotive parts and car care products are logically set to rev up further. Thus, the first Auto Parts & Vehicles Expo Philippines (APVE) is coming as a timely platform for local and international suppliers to convene for trading, networking, and exchange of ideas and innovations about automotive parts, accessories, maintenance equipment, and tools.
The inaugural edition of the three-day sectoral event from June 5 to 7, 2024 is gathering up to 4,000 prospective buyers and sellers from across the country and Southeast Asia. Hundreds of regional and international exhibitors are showcasing the latest products and solutions in the evolving auto parts sector.
“The first-ever APVE Philippines is designed to be a game-changing platform aimed at congregating industry leaders, buyers, sellers, and representatives from the government to unlock emerging and potential growth opportunities in the auto parts sector,” said Rungphech ‘Rose’ Chitanuwat, General Manager in the Philippines of Informa Markets, the organizer of the trade event.
“As we have mentioned previously, APVE is also relevant to several related industries like mining, construction, logistics, transportation, and agriculture. Just like in othernations across the region, the auto parts sector in the country is very promising as it is bolstered along with robustly growing vehicle sales,” she added.
Record-breaking car sales
Overall automotive sales in the Philippines grew by a whopping 21.9 percent in 2023,
accounting to a record high purchase of 429,807 units. That exceeded the industry’s
annual sales target of 423,000 and even outpaced the pre-pandemic sales levels.
Passenger vehicles accounted for 25.4 percent of the actual annual sales figure, while
the rest (74.6 percent) is comprised of commercial vehicles.
The local automotive parts sector covers more than 250 businesses that produce and
import up to 330 types of parts and components (made of metals, rubber, plastic, and
other composite materials). Those companies supply items for original equipment
