The Philippine automotive industry shifts into high gear as the Auto Parts & Vehicles Expo (APV Expo) 2025 returns for its second edition at the World Trade Center in Pasay City.
Running from July 25 to 27, the three-day event is expected to draw nearly 200 exhibitors and around 5,000 attendees from across the country and the region.
Organized by Informa Markets Singapore, APV Expo 2025 is poised to spotlight the country’s growing role in the global auto parts supply chain. “The robust growth of the automotive parts industry highlights its resilience and vital role in further strengthening the Philippines’ position in global supply chains,” said Sukumar Verma, Managing Director at Informa Markets.
Rising exports, stronger global position
In 2024, the Philippine auto parts sector generated $1.21 billion (₱66.55 billion) in export revenue. This figure is projected to climb to $1.28 billion (₱70.4 billion) in 2025, according to the International Trade Council. The event underscores this growth by bringing together manufacturers, suppliers, and innovators to showcase new technologies, aftermarket solutions, and automotive services.
Exhibitors include companies from major automotive markets such as China, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, India, and the Philippines.
PhilBus & Truck 2025 co-located for broader reach
Adding more value to the expo is the co-located PHILBUS & TRUCK 2025, a dedicated platform for the commercial vehicle, bus, and truck segments. The synergy between both shows aims to create wider opportunities for collaboration and innovation in the broader mobility ecosystem.
Support services, seminars, and special attractions
This year’s edition also features the PEZA Pavilion, with 15 PEZA-registered manufacturers from industries including automotive, aerospace, electronics, plastics, and machinery.
Motolite is offering free services such as battery check-ups, jumpstarts, and flat tire assistance—especially helpful for motorists affected by recent floods.
Visitors can also attend free seminars and expert-led conferences covering a wide range of topics, from fleet management and road safety to sustainable development and auto parts innovation.
Electric vehicles, 4×4 trucks, and supercars on display
Among the showstoppers are electric taxis by Green GSM Philippines, EV jeepneys, 4×4 camping trucks, and a range of high-performance supercars. Attendees also stand a chance to win a premium Motolite battery in the event raffle.
