  • 2023 Manpower Survey Report

A Rejuvenated Workforce of the Automobile Industry

After suffering from the pandemic for a few years, the automobile industry has managed to maintain the number of people it employs. The total number of employees in the industry has just slightly decreased from 16 941 in 2019 to 16 693 in 2023. However, the industry needs to do its best to encourage more young people to join in order to compensate for the looming retirement wave, particularly at the craftsman level of the vehicle servicing sector. Besides, maintaining a skilled workforce and staying up-to-date with evolving automotive technologies are one of major challenges for the automobile industry.

The Popularisation of New Energy Vehicles

Announced by the Government, "Hong Kong Roadmap on Popularisation of Electric Vehicles" has set out the way to zero vehicular emissions for Hong Kong by 2050.  Despite the rapid emergence of electric vehicles in the local market, there is still a huge demand for the maintenance of mainstream internal combustion engine vehicles.  In terms of commercial vehicles, local franchised public bus companies are gradually introducing electric buses and hydrogen buses to diversify the development of new energy vehicles in Hong Kong.   The automotive industry needs mechatronic talents to sustain the development of new energy vehicles in Hong Kong.  Training programmes should be tailored to meet the needs of the industry so that practitioners can effectively grasp the professional skills involved.
