  • THAILAND AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY

  • THAILAND: GLOBAL GREEN AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTION BASEThailands automotive industry has been continually developing for over 50 years with strong support from both the public and private sectors. Thailand has been the automotive hub of ASEAN, with the largest automotive production among Southeast Asian countries, ranking ninth globally in 2012.

    The automotive industry is a vital sector in Thailand, with a significant contribution to the countrys economy, accounting for 10% of Thailands gross domestic product (GDP). In 2012, Thai automotive production capacity was 2.75 million vehicles and the industry employed over 500,000 people; the production capacity is expected to reach 3 million units by 2015. The government coordinated with the private sector to formulate the Master Plan for Automotive Industry (2012-2016) to develop Thailand as a global green automotive production base and to increase research and development for automotive technology.

    Thailand has approximately 709 Tier 1 auto parts suppliers and 1,700 Tier 2 and 3 suppliers. More than half of the Tier 1 suppliers are car part companies. Of the top 100 auto parts manufacturers in the world, 50% have factories in Thailand; the countrys manufacturing base is strong enough to supply all of the necessary parts, from engine parts to interior and body parts.

    Major multinational automotive industry leaders with presence in Thailand include: Toyota Motors, Isuzu Motors, Honda Automobile, Nissan Motors, Suzuki Motor, Mitsubishi Motors, Auto Alliance Thailand (Ford and Mazda), Hino Motor, General Motors, BMW Manufacturing, Volvo Car Thailand, Mercedes-Benz Thailand and Tata Motors.

  • BIG INDUSTRY DRIVERSThe year 2012 was a historic year for the Thai automotive industry, with the highest production ever: over two million cars. Many leading automotive firms plan to increase investment in capacity in 2013.

    Toyota plans to invest US$400 million to build its second assembly plant at the Gateway Industrial Estate in Chachoengsao. Production at the new plant will be launched mid-2013, which will raise production at the Gateway complex from 220,000 to 300,000 units per year. Toyota has a long plan to invest US$667 million to raise capacity to 1.2 million units per-year within the next five years.

    Honda plans to build a new plant in Prachinburi, with an investment of US$1,100 million. The new plant will be opened in 2015 and will add production capacity another 240,000 units per-year.

    Nissan plans to invest US$500 million to erect the second assembly plant on Bangna-Trat Road. The new plant will begin production in 2014 with an initial capacity of 75,000 units per-year, and will expand up to 150,000 units.

    Mazda has decided to invest almost US$375 million to open a transmission plant in Chonburi, near the Auto Alliance Thailand (AAT) plant in Rayong. Operations at the new plant will commence in March 2016, and will supply automatic transmissions for SkyActiv models.

    Several Chinese auto-makers also plan to invest in Thailand. Chinas SAIC Motor Corp will enter into a US$289 million joint venture with Thailands Charoen Pokphand Group (CP) to establish a 50,000 unit assembly plant of British MG cars in Thailand. Moreover, Chinese sport utility vehicle (SUV) and pick-up truck maker Great Wall Motor (GWM) has announced plans to invest up to US$340 million in Thailand.

  • AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

    The Thailand automotive industry has grown steeply and in 2012 production hit a new record of 2.45 million units, 68% higher than 2011. Thanks to the governments First Car Buyer scheme, which allowed people buying a first car to receive up to THB100,000 (US$3,333) tax refund, vehicle sales and production were boosted. Moreover, according to the Thailand Ministry of Commerce, Thailands automotive industry was the largest export sector, with an export value US$24 billion in 2012. In the same period, auto parts imports totaled nearly US$13 billion.

    Thailand is in a superb location for automotive production, due to its strategic location at the center of Southeast Asia, a large pool of skilled labor at an affordable cost, excellent infrastructure, as well as strong government support.

  • AUTOMOTIVE ELECTRONICSThe utilization of electronics has become more prevalent across a variety of automobile systems. Electronics systems have improved automobile performance, safety, comfort, and efficiency. Moreover, the trend of alternative fuel, fuel efficiency and emissions standards are important factors driving demand of automotive electronics. The global demand for automotive electronics systems is expected to reach US$191.3 billion in 2013 and is forecast to reach US$314.4 billion in 2020.

    Innovation and development in automotive electronics have expanded to support the high demand for smarter vehicles. Automotive electronic components can be utilized in many systems including power or engine controlling systems, safety systems, driver assistance, passenger comfort, information systems, and in-car entertainment.

    As the major automotive production hub of ASEAN, Thailand is one of the largest automotive electronics markets in the world. Industry analysts have indicated that there is still significant opportunity to invest in automotive electronics in Thailand. There are leading automotive electronics manufacturers in Thailand, such as Toyota Tsusho, who produces embedded software for automotive applications, and other well-known local manufacturers, including Omron and Mizuki.

  • OPPORTUNITIESThailand is a vehicle production base in ASEAN, with the largest amount of vehicle assembly in the region. Although many leading vehicle manufacturers and auto parts and components producers have production facilities in the country, some auto parts are still imported from overseas. Opportunities exist for foreign suppliers to manufacture electronic fuel-injection systems, substrates for catalytic converters, continuously variable transmissions, electronic stability controls and regenerative braking systems, among numerous other products in Thailand. More R&D, design and testing centers are also needed, despite major players such as Yamaha, Bridgestone, Maxxis, and Michelin operating such facilities in Thailand already.

    Hi-Tech Vehicle Parts and Components

    Projects in high-tech vehicle parts and components manufacturing are considered priority activities by the Thailand Board of Investment (BOI), which means they are exempt from machinery import duties and from corporate income tax for 8 years, regardless of location within the country. Some examples of eligible activities include electronic fuel-injection systems, ABS brake systems, substrates for catalytic converters, automatic transmissions, continuously variable transmissions (CVT), traction motors for automobiles (e.g. hybrid car, fuel cell), electronic stability control (ESC), and regenerative braking systems.

    NGV Car

    The Thai Ministry of Energy supports fuel-efficient transportation through a natural gas vehicle (NGV) initiative. This initiative includes natural gas subsidization through PTT Public Company Ltd., reduced import duty on NGV tanks from 17% to 10% in 2012, and reduced import duty on NGV control system parts and components, from 35% to 10%.

  • Eco-Cars

    Eco-cars continue to receive incentives to promote the growth of the eco-car market locally and abroad. For instance, the incentives will be applied exclusively to materials that cannot be produced locally. Incentives include duty reduction of up to 90% granted for two years, with annual review. The new measure is intended to help eco-car manufacturers by lowering their production costs and reducing their burden in sourcing parts that are not available or locally produced in Thailand. This measure also encourages more investment in eco-car parts production, which provides the country with economies of scale and greater competitive advantage in the global eco-car production business. The BOI approved eco-car projects from Nissan, Honda, Suzuki, Mitsubishi and Toyota. Specific models such as the Nissan March, Honda Brio, Suzuki Swift, and Mitsubishi Mirage are currently being manufactured in Thailand. Additionally, Thailands Ministry of Finance has reduced the excise taxes on eco-cars from 30% to 17%.

    Passenger Cars

    Although Thailand has a strong focus on pickup trucks, passenger cars receive similar favorable treatment in manufacturing promotion. The requirement for the promotion of passenger car manufacturing includes a minimum capacity for the approved models of 100,000 units per-year within 5 years and a minimum investment, exclusive of land cost and working capital, of no less than US$500 million (THB15 billion). Projects that meet these criteria are eligible for a five-year corporate income tax holiday and exemption from import duties on machinery regardless, of location within the country.

  • E-85 Fuel

    Thailands Ministry of Finance has reduced the excise taxes on cars using E85 fuel to 22%, 27% and 32%, depending on engine size.

    Big-Bike, 4-Stroke Engine Motorcycles (from 248 CC)

    Regardless of plant locations, big-bike motorcycle manufacturing activities will be eligible for exemption from import duty on machinery. For projects that include engine manufacturing starting from machining key parts, such as cylinder heads, crankcases, crankshaft, camshaft, cylinder block and connecting rod, the corporate income tax holiday will be offered for 3-8 years, depending on the plant location.

    Vehicle Tires

    Firms manufacturing vehicle tires are exempt from machinery import duties and corporate income tax for 8 years, regardless of zone. According to the Excise Department, Ministry of Finance, the current automotive excise taxes scheme is detailed as follows:

    In order to promote green technology, the Thailand government has restructured automotive excise taxes to better-align with vehicle emissions that will be effective on 1 January 2016, as follows:

  • WHY THAILANDAccording to the Automotive Industry Master Plan (2012-2016), Thailands automotive industry will become a global green automotive production base. This development will expand the automotive industry of Thailand from the production hub of ASEAN to the global market.

    Nearly all of the worlds major automakers, assemblers, and parts and components manufacturers have established manufacturing facilities in Thailand. All of leading Japanese vehicle producers have opened production sites in the country, as have major American automotive firms such as Ford Motors and General Motors, as well as German companies Daimler - makers of Mercedes Benz - and Bayerische Motoren Werke, better-known as BMW.

    Promising Investment Destination Thailand is an excellent location as a world-class automotive production base. Almost all of the worlds major automotive manufacturers have factories based in the country. Situated in a strategic location in the center of Southeast Asia, Thailand provides easy access to regional markets. Growth in domestic demand has bolstered the robust export market for the Thai automotive industry. These factors contribute to the evident opportunities for foreign investors to enter the market.

  • Additionally, there are tax and non-tax incentives that the Thai Government offers to the manufacturers of vehicles, vehicle parts, and for automotive R&D and testing. Non-tax incentives include land ownership rights for foreign investors, permission to bring in foreign experts and technicians, and work permit and visa facilitation for foreign expat employees. The Thai Government also does not impose export requirements, local content requirements, location requirements, or foreign equity restrictions on manufacturers.

    Abundant skilled-labor supplyThailand provides a highly efficient and affordable workforce. In 2012, more than 500,000 workers were employed in the automotive sector in the country. Thai laborers have comparative advantages in high skill levels and quality over most other countries in the region.

    Auto Parts ClustersThe automotive industry has been a priority sector for the economy of Thailand. Thailand has shown impressive growth in this sector. With government support, auto parts clusters were developed to tighten business connections between automotive firms and their suppliers in enhanced communication, lower logistics costs and improved flow of products.

    Excellent Infrastructure Thailand is a transportation hub in the region; the country provides world-class infrastructure to support convenient logistics. With extensive road networks through the east-west and north-south corridors facilitating access to all nearby countries, Bangkoks Suvarnabhumi International Airport, Laem Chabang a leading deep-sea port and rail links to all regions across the country, Thailand offers manufacturers cheap, easy, and efficient logistics.

    Thailands Trade Liberalization Thailand has bilateral free trade agreements with many countries, including Japan, India, Australia, New Zealand, and members of ASEAN, extending trade opportunities into the global marketplace. Furthermore, the ASEAN Free Trade Agreement (AFTA) will expand the market of Thailand to the 10 member countries of ASEAN that collectively comprise a market of 600 million consumers. Tariffs for auto parts exported to ASEAN nations were eliminated entirely in 2010.

  • The establishment of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in 2015 will serve as a massive single market that is fully integrated into the global economy. The AEC will open new doors to manufacturers by transforming ASEAN into a region with free movement of goods, capital, services, investment and workforce.

    Excellent Government SupportThe Thai government has a mission to promote the country as a global green automotive production base. The Master Plan for Automotive Industry (2012-2016) was developed with a view of establishing the Kingdom as one of the worlds key manufacturing centers by increasing vehicle output by an average of 10% annually; and also aims at making the country one of the top ten auto-manufacturing countries, a goal that has already been achieved with Thailands rank of ninth, globally, in 2012. To support automotive investment, BOI has a philosophy to promote liberalization and transparency, providing equal treatment to all market players. The country has created the most attractive business environment for the auto industry and has prepared essential resources for every type of automotive business, including developed basic infrastructure, quality labor force, as well as strong upstream industries and supporting industries.

  • ATTRACTIVE INVESTMENT INCENTIVESThe BOI offers a range of fiscal and non-tax incentives for investments based on location. Tax incentives include exemption or reduction of import duties on machinery and raw materials, and corporate income tax exemptions and reductions. Non-tax incentives include permission to bring in foreign workers, own land and take or remit foreign currency abroad. Additionally, projects in any manufacturing and some service sectors are entitled to majority or 100% foreign ownership.

    As indicated in the section above on opportunities, the BOI has created several packages that target different aspects of automobile manufacturing. In addition, the BOI has classified 11 categories of vehicle parts (including tires), as well as LNG or CNG containers, engines, parts and equipment for NGVs, and machines or equipment for NGV service stations, as priority activities. As such, projects in these activities are granted exemption of import duties on machinery for all zones, eight-year corporate income tax exemption for all zones (subject to the corporate income tax exemption cap), and all relevant location-based incentives.

    Of these 11 categories, six automotive activities (automatic transmissions, CVTs, traction motors for automobiles such as hybrid cars and fuel cell cars, electronic stability controls or ESCs, regenerative braking systems, and rubber tires for vehicles) are eligible for the BOIs special incentives promoting sustainable development, if the investor submits an application by the end of December 2013 .

    The incentives for these activities include an eight-year corporate income tax holiday without being subject to a corporate income tax exemption cap; a five-year 50% reduction of corporate income tax on net profit following the expiration of the corporate income tax holiday; exemption of import duty on machinery; a 10-year double deduction of transportation, electricity and water supply costs; deduction from net profit of 25% of investment in infrastructure installation and construction costs, in addition to normal capital depreciation. Projects can be located anywhere except Bangkok.
