• The South African vehicle assembly industry has grown its output, increased its local content, and
expanded employment within its supply chain, despite:
• Recent production performance has been underpinned by export growth into distant, developed
economy markets, placing substantial competitiveness pressure on the industry, especially in light
of South African cost movements, labour instability and transformation imperatives that strategically
challenge the industry’s position within Global Value Chains
• The Automotive Production Development Programme (APDP) has supported the industry in the face
of domestic challenges

2. Five-year Sector
Strategy and Plan
The South African automotive industry has worked
with the Department of Trade and Industry to
develop a South African Automotive Masterplan to
2035. Its five year business plan is therefore
located within this aspirational plan

Auto Sector’s 7 priority requests to support the industry’s
5year plan
1. Local market stimulation (1)
2. Establishment of a regional automotive pact that develops
regional value chains and a growing, sustainable African
market (2)
3. Fuel quality to international standards (6)
4. Uncompetitive port and rail efficiencies, reliability and cost (4)
5. Investment support for new, advanced technologies (6)
6. Improved industrial relations legislation (foundational)
7. Coordinate supply chain skills development in value chain (6)
Other major priorities to 2023 can be driven by OEMs and automotive component manufacturers –
investment, supplier development, localisation, transformation, employment – but need substantial
progress in the above priorities

Recommended action plans to support the industry’s 5year
plan
1. Domestic vehicle affordability
• National review of labour relations act in support of job creation and industrialisation
• Joint DTI and AAAM initiative in place – broader government support required
