The second annual Auto Parts & Vehicles Expo (APV Expo) puts the Philippine automobile parts industry front and center once more as it continues to grow. Nearly 200 exhibitors and up to 5,000 people are expected to attend the three-day event, which takes place at the World Trade Center in Pasay City from July 25 to July 27.
Mr. Sukumar Verma, Managing Director at Informa Markets Singapore, the organization behind APVE 2025, stated, “The automotive parts industry’s strong growth demonstrates its resilience and crucial role in further strengthening the Philippines’ position in global supply chains.”
Attending the APV Expo 2025 made me realize just how strong and resilient the Philippine automotive parts industry has become. Seeing nearly 200 exhibitors and thousands of attendees all coming together under one roof proves how essential this sector is—not just to our local economy, but to global supply chains as well. It’s inspiring to witness how innovation, collaboration, and passion are driving our country forward in the automotive world.
The country’s auto parts industry generated an estimated $1.21 billion (around P66.55 billion) export-revenue in 2024 and is projected to grow even further to reach $1.28 billion (around P70.4 billion) this year, based on data released by the International Trade Council. Thus, it significantly contributes to national trade growth and reflects the continuously growing demand for automotive components globally.
“The yearly APV Expo is designed to showcase and support manufacturers, suppliers, and all other stakeholders related to the industry. Just like in the inaugural edition last year, APV Expo 2025 aims to open opportunities by highlighting the overall automotive ecosystem–from manufacturing components and cutting-edge technologies to aftermarket solutions and all in between,” he said.
Further establishing its position as a sought-after annual trade event for automotive parts, APV Expo 2025 is featuring the latest in auto parts and components, modern logistics and transportation solutions, automotive sustainability solutions, and the newest industry and institutional offerings from local and international brands in key markets, which include China, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, India, and the Philippines.
