SMS – 74% COMPONENTS AND DEVICES - 74.03% EMS – 26% COMPUTER REL.PROD./EDP – 20.17% CONSUMER ELECTRONICS – 2.07% AUTOMOTIVE ELECTRONICS – 1.45% COMMUNICATIONS AND RADAR – 0.98% OFFICE EQUIPMENT – 0.70% TELECOMMUNICATIONS – 0.59% CONTROL & INSTRUMENTATION – 0.06% MEDICAL AND INDUSTRIAL – 0.03% Exports are mostly parts and components EMS 26% SMS 74% Source: Masterplan for Philippine Electronics Industry 1998

  10. SEIPI Industry Standards ISO 9000 Certified, member of International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Observes best known methods in manufacturing (JIT,TQM, 5S, QPIC) Capabilities Range from IC Packaging, PCB Assembly, Full Product Assembly Lead in ASEAN Electronics Forum and ACCI Electronics committee Promotes harmonization of safety and EMC standards in ASEAN Participates in MRAs for Electrical and Electronic products testing and certification

  11. Others Malaysia 8% 2% Singapore 2% 883 Firms Philippines Taiwan 28% 4% NATIONALITY: 72% Foreign 28% Filipino Europe 7% US 9% Korea Japan 10% 30% DOMINATED BY MNCs Exports are mostly intra-industry trade Sources: Philippine Board of Investments (BOI) & Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA)

  12. Declining share of Garments Exports

  13. Garments Exports ASEAN: USD 19m CHINA: USD 4.4m JAPAN: USD 58m KOREA: USD 3.7m EAST ASIA: USD 104m United States: USD 1,737m

  14. Industry profile • Predominantly Filipino-owned SMEs • Import-dependent, sourcing over 80% of their textile requirement (polyester fiber, cotton, rayon, and acrylic) from abroad • Extensive sub-contracting practice stemming from relations fostered by MFA regime (particularly for US market) • Philippine firms part of triangle manufacturing

  15. Standards issues for garments • Subject more to fashion trends and less on government regulations • Standards a function of sub-contracting arrangements and branding • Conformity assessment costs usually assumed by buyer • Social and labor standards imposed on those seeking access to US markets • ROO and licensing issues more prominent

  16. Manufactures subject to NTBs

  17. Manufactures subject to NTBs

  18. Summary • Standards not a serious trade impediment • Impact on standards is a function of buyer-driven model, i.e. specification of inputs is determined by foreign buyers • Garments and electronics part of global production network • AFTA is not a natural export destination for Philippine garments and electronics
