Frost & Sullivan sees opportunity for aerospace centre in Thailand

Posted on by

This has a potential of bringing in US$650 million (Bt21 billion) per year by 2023 when the first phase of the park will be operational. The park is planned to be developed in three phases, and when all of them are fully operational, it is forecast to generate $1.485 billion every year for Thailand.

Amartya De, senior consultant for public sector and government practice at Frost & Sullivan, said that acting as the project leader for this assignment, he was extremely satisfied with the response from the global aerospace community on being part of the Thailand aerospace hub.

"We are witnessing interest from major aerospace MRO and manufacturing companies from overseas. The foundation blocks of the Aerospace Industrial Estate master plan are being put under the supervision of Office of Transport and Traffic Policy and Planning under the [Transport Ministry]. The ministry is all geared up to repeat the same success in aerospace manufacturing and repair industry that Thailand has already achieved in the automotive sector."

The direct revenue impact from the Thailand Aerospace Industrial Estate could be close to $86.6 billion in a 25-year time frame between 2019-2045. Of that figure, $32.5 billion is targeted from pre-built infrastructure such as MRO hangars and component factories. The remaining land is planned to be leased out to aerospace companies depending upon their requirements.

The first phase of the Aerospace Industrial Estate is expected to be operational by 2019. Construction is expected to start as early as next year.

"Global Tier 2 aerospace manufacturers are constantly facing downward pressure from aerospace primes such as Boeing and Airbus to cut costs in their value chain, which is leading Tier 2 aerospace companies to make fresh investments in low-cost countries that have an excellent industrial base, and Thailand precisely fits the bill. Thailand's strong base and efficient labour force in automotive component manufacturing can be effectively leveraged for aerospace manufacturing," De said. However, he said aerospace companies were looking for specific business enablers related to ownership, land leasing and other issues that need to be quickly worked out, or else investors may find alternative destinations in Asean.

He added that Thailand's commercial-airline MRO spending this year is forecast to be close to $771 million, which is expected to grow to $1.35 billion by 2024.

By 2020, a large chunk of MRO spending is forecast to be spent on nearly 100 Airbus A320 and 50 Boeing B737 aircraft operating out of Thailand. Part of Thailand's endeavour is going to bringing that MRO spending back to this country, with support from overseas MRO operators setting up their bases here.

"We are also looking at the large fleet base of A320neo and B737 MAX, as regional order books are overwhelming," De said.

Report: Undocumented getting more white-collar jobs

Posted on by

Undocumented immigrants are increasingly getting white-collar jobs as lower-skilled industries let more workers go, according to a report released Thursday.

In the years since the global recession slammed the U.S. economy - from 2007 to 2012 - construction and production jobs for undocumented immigrants fell by 475,000, according to the report from the Pew Research Center. At the same time, undocumented immigrants gained 180,000 management and professional jobs, the study showed.

"Despite these shifts, unauthorized immigrant workers remain concentrated in lower-skill jobs, much more so than U.S.-born workers," Pew concluded.

The report, which was based on government employment data from 2012, found that undocumented immigrants continue to be concentrated in the low-skilled workforce in the USA.

While undocumented immigrants account for 5% of the overall workforce, they represent 26% of employees in the farming, fishing and forestry industries; 17% of the cleaning and maintenance industries; 14% of the construction and extraction industries; and 11% of the food preparation and serving industries.

While undocumented immigrants saw net job gains in white-collar jobs, such as management, professional and office support occupations, they remained only 2% of the workers in those industries.

That profile means undocumented immigrants were also the hardest hit when the American recession struck, with undocumented immigrants more likely to be let go than U.S.-born workers. Overall, their share of the U.S. workforce fell from 5.4% in 2007 to 5.1% in 2012.

In 2007, undocumented immigrants made up 16% of construction workers. By 2012, that fell to 14%. Their share of the production workforce, including assemblers, food processors and machinists, fell from 10% in 2007 to 9% in 2012. Their share of service-industry jobs also fell from 10% in 2007 to 9% in 2012.

Other findings in the report:

? While the overall size of the undocumented immigrant population fell from 12.2 million in 2007 to 11.2 million in 2012, the number of undocumented immigrants in the labor force rose from 8.1 million to 8.3 million.
