Chips, Circuits, & Careers: The Philippines’ Electronics Revolution

In the Philippines, the electronics manufacturing industry has developed into one of the most dynamic contributors to the national economy, accounting for a significant share of the nation's exports and industrial output. The estimated market size is in the billions of dollars, driven primarily by the country's strong insertion in global value chains. Furthermore, electronics manufacturing accounts for more than 50% of total Philippine exports, with semiconductors, electronic components, and consumer electronics leading the way. This allows the country to emerge as an important supplier for multinational companies that rely on low-cost manufacturing and skilled labor.
