The Philippines’ export sector posted a record monthly performance in March 2026, driven largely by sustained global demand for electronics used in emerging technologies.
Philippine exports climbed 21.3% year on year to $6.9 billion in November 2025, powered largely by a sharp rebound in electronics shipments, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) said.
The country’s electronics industry — long the backbone of Philippine exports — continued its strong momentum in 2025, posting an 11.7% year-on-year jump as the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) opened this year’s National Exporters’ Week (NEW).
Philippine exports continued their upward trajectory in July, climbing 17.3% year-on-year to $ 7.34 billion, fueled largely by the strong performance of the electronics sector, data from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) showed.
Murata Manufacturing, which was founded in Kyoto, Japan in 1944, is engaged in the research & development, production, and sales of ceramic-based electronics used in Apple iPhones and other devices.
The manufacture of computer, electronic, and optical products also slowed down in February with its value of production index declining by 10.9 percent.
The electronics sector remains to be the Philippines' top export, accounting for 66.3% of total exports during the period with export sales value of $5.1 billion.
Electronic products continued to be the Philippines’ top export in August 2022 with total earnings of $3.66 billion which accounted for 57.1 percent of the total exports during the period followed by other manufactured goods valued at $341.32 million, according to Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA).
