Domestic automotive industry is dominated by multinational owned firms that are
committed to South Africa. Evident from export contracts secured, extent of
investment, and initiation of transformation journey

Status quo summary

• The South African vehicle assembly industry has grown its output, increased its local content, and
expanded employment within its supply chain, despite:

• A declining, excessively taxed domestic market; and

• A dormant regional market, dominated by pre-owned vehicle imports

• 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
The South African Automotive Masterplan’s 2035 vision, objectives, and strategic implementation pillars

Objective Estimated impact on SA auto industry


• CBU production to 1.39m units annually (129% higher
1. SA vehicle production to 1%
than 2015 levels)
of global output
• Increase vehicle production value to R314bn

2. Increase local content in SA • Increase local content R135bn on 2015 levels


assembled vehicles to 60% • 55% more local content per assembled vehicle

3. Double employment in the


• Aggregate employment to 224,000
auto value chain

4. Improve industry
• Comparative price and non-price competitiveness
competitiveness to leading
• Sustained export competitiveness
international competitors

• 25% Black-owned involvement at T2/3 component


levels, and in dealerships and authorised repair facilities
5. Transformation of the South
• Amplified skills development
African automotive value chain • Enhanced employment equity at senior management and
technical professional levels

• Growth of auto component exports and production for


the aftermarket at the same rate as CBU local content
6. Deepen value addition within
increases
SA auto value chains
• Growth in R&D/other innovation metrics within the SA
auto value chain

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
19
Recommended action plans to support the industry’s 5year
plan
1. Domestic vehicle affordability

• Workshop with DTI and National Treasury on demand stimulation

• Examination of ad valorem duties on demand stimulation and Treasury revenue

2. Fuel quality to international standards
