Market Overview
The Philippines is a global leader in business process outsourcing (BPO), with capabilities in finance, IT, customer service, and healthcare support. Its English-proficient workforce, cultural compatibility with Western markets, and cost advantages make it an ideal base for shared services and knowledge process outsourcing (KPO). We work with clients evaluating the Philippines as part of a regional hub strategy for ASEAN service delivery.
While still growing relative to regional peers, the Philippines is investing in electronics, aerospace, food processing, and industrial parks. Its strategic location along Pacific trade routes supports regional logistics planning. We assist clients in structuring their operations in export processing zones (PEZA) and evaluating tax incentives available for manufacturing and logistics investments.
The government continues to liberalize foreign ownership rules and streamline tax and labor regulations. The CREATE Act and the expansion of the Public Services Act have opened more sectors to foreign participation. Our partner provides clarity on compliance expectations and helps investors navigate the nuances of local regulatory reform.
The Philippines participates in RCEP and other key ASEAN trade platforms, providing tariff benefits and regional supply chain access. The country’s role as a consumer market and export base is growing as infrastructure and institutional frameworks mature. We assist clients in understanding how Philippine operations can fit within ASEAN or Indo-Pacific investment strategies.
