The Philippines’ electronics and semiconductor industry is anticipating a modest recovery in 2025 after two consecutive years of decline.
Dan Lachica, president of the Semiconductor and Electronics Industry in the Philippines Foundation, Inc. (SEIPI), said the sector may see 1 to 2 percent growth this year.
Speaking at the Aboitiz InfraCapital Economic Estates Industrial Summit 2025, he expressed optimism that growth, though small, would be a positive shift from recent stagnation.
Key growth drivers include electronics manufacturing services, renewable energy, and consumer electronics.
Despite ongoing concerns over U.S. reciprocal tariffs, Lachica also emphasized the need to move up the value chain and attract investments in higher-value segments like integrated circuit design and wafer fabrication.
