Be it for construction, consumer electronics, agrichemicals or fuels, manufacturing facilities are looking for ways to boost productivity, lower costs and become more sustainable. Sustainability is of particular importance for the construction, diversified chemicals and fuels sectors, as the 200 countries involved in the The Paris Agreement enact regulation aimed at lowering CO2 emissions in an effort to curb global warming. Though the oil and natural gas sector may be negatively impacted by these regulations, it should help grow the biofuels sector, as well as stimulate scientific research and development. For fields with markedly high global demand, such as electronics manufacturing, which is particularly important to the economies of Asian nations, many companies are seeking ways to increase production volume while keeping costs low. This is leading to some of these companies leaving Mainland China for more cost-effective nations, such as those in Southeast Asia, as well as incorporation automation to boost efficiency. Projections for overall growth in this industry are quite high, and employers participating in our Talent in Asia survey mostly mirrored that thought process, with 62% saying they are optimistic about strengthening the industrys workforce in 2019, and 60% planning to increase headcount. That said, the talent shortage that is affecting hiring across all industries is a concern for the Industrial sector, though it is slightly less worrisome than it is for other industries. Other challenges for hiring include low hiring budgets and being unable to find candidates that are the right fit for the company. This is largely because most companies want talent who have industry knowledge and experience which can be hard to find when expanding to new regions. In order to fill available roles, HR teams in this industry are looking to internal promotions and transfers, a review of compensation packages and increased investment in employee training and development. In this report, we have focused on talent trends in 10 key sectors of the consumer industry: construction, mechanical industrial engineering, oil and natural gas, biofuels, diversified chemicals, semiconductors, heavy machinery, electronics manufacturing services, industrial automation and automotive. We hope this report can be used as a helpful, educational resource for HR teams and business leaders that educates them about the opportunities and challenges that exist in Asias exciting, but rapidly changing Industrial sector. THE TOP SECTORS IN INDUSTRIAL BY TALENT 9 million overall talent pool size as visible online Sustainability, Digitisation and Regulation Impacting the Industrial Industry INTRODUCTION 3 ELECTRONICS MANUFACTURING SERVICES 20% (1.8 million) CONSTRUCTION 17% (1.5 million) MECHANICAL AND INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING 13% (1.2 million) AUTOMOTIVE 18% (1.6 million) OIL AND ENERGY 13% (1.2 million)SLOW GROWTH DRIVEN BY APAC CONSTRUCTION 4 Though the global construction industry is expected to grow slightly in 2019, the growth is entirely due to the pickup in construction activity in emerging Asia Pacific markets. The leader in this construction growth is Mainland China, whose government is aggressively investing in infrastructure development and whose construction industry is expected to expand by nearly 6% in 2019 due to a large, high-speed railway project 1 . Japan and India are also investing in construction projects, as are the nations throughout Southeast Asia - currently the fastest growing region in the world at an average growth of 6.5% per year. Conversely, construction is on a downtrend in North America, much of Europe and in South Korea, and as construction in Mainland China slows over the coming years, its likely Southeast Asias booming demand for residential and hotel projects will lead the industry and help it regain momentum 2 . Risks to the global construction forecast, though, come from ongoing political tensions particularly Brexit and the trade war between the United States and Mainland China. Depending on the outcome of these issues, construction projects that involve international companies could be impacted, especially in terms of investment.

San Miguel Corporation Larsen & Toubro Ltd Obayashi Corporation Kajima Corporation 5 10 China Railway Group Ltd China Railway Construction Corp. Ltd. Posco Co., Ltd. Samsung C&T Corporation (12/2018) Samsung C&T Corporation (12/2014)INDUSTRY TRENDS Like current trends across many other sectors, urbanisation, sustainability and technology are driving trends in the construction sector. But for those in construction, these global trends translate into affordable housing projects, a greater focus on sustainably sourced building materials and green practices, and implementing technologies ranging from Internet of Things to data analytics into urban infrastructure. With these trends, the construction industry is becoming vital in helping governments execute their visions of providing better experiences to its citizens, as well as promoting efforts to work and live sustainably and to find new, exciting solutions involving the intersection of engineering, technology and design. Housing and Hotel Projects in APAC Asia Pacific is currently driving growth in infrastructure globally with a CAGR of 5.3% projected from 20172022, according to IHS Economics. This is largely due to foreign investment, multinational businesses moving in, and tourism. According to the World Tourism Organisation, just over 308 million tourists visited Asia Pacific in 2016 - a growth of 7.2% from 2012 - and the hotel industry is significantly contributing to the growth in construction projects.But there are also residential projects ongoing. For example, the Indian government has launched an initiative that will provide affordable housing in urban areas and is projecting to be as many as 20 million homes. Additionally, there are rebuilding efforts throughout Japan, and the trend of purchasing second homes is on the rise in China. THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY IS BECOMING VITAL IN HELPING GOVERNMENTS EXECUTE THEIR VISIONS OF PROVIDING BETTER EXPERIENCES TO ITS CITIZENS “ 56 Sustainability and Green Technology Sustainability has been a key focus in the construction market and the trend is only continuing, with many companies looking to find ways to preserve the natural environment and use resources efficiently. For example, sustainable construction can include features that maximise natural light to reduce the need for artificial lighting and electrical costs, and the implementation of sinks, showers and toilets that reuse drain water 3 . Closely related to sustainability measures are green building design and construction. The idea of green construction extends to every aspect of the process - but more than being eco-friendly, many companies see green design and construction as an exciting challenge, especially as green awards and LEED certification become more sought after. Many markets are currently experiencing the need to demolish aging buildings that becoming unsafe and are too costly to maintain, and looking to new construction as a solution. But considering construction makes up 20% of global emissions, many companies are looking to reduce that percentage as they work on these new projects. Smart Cities Cities worldwide are swelling in population and looking to become “smart” by integrating helpful technology such as data analytics, IoT and artificial intelligence into urban infrastructure so that they can better forecast resources and urban assets for their people. Its projected that global spending on smart city technology will be near $160 billion by 2022 demand that the construction industry cannot ignore. Prudent construction firms will partner with engineering firms or electronics companies to create and execute solutions that could include digital improvements to systems such as wastewater, public transportation logistics and traffic signal timings for potential clients 4 .7 HIRING TRENDS As construction projects across Asia Pacific break ground, local construction crews are often hired, even if the projects are overseen by global construction firms. Because residential and hotel projects are popular in the region, many construction workers are finding employment and should continue to have work thanks to the popularity of the region as a tourist destination as well as emerging economies worth investing in. This is especially true for Mainland China, India, Indonesia, Philippines and Malaysia, all of which have seen the greatest talent movements in this sector, and still offer the greatest amount of joy seekers.

This is especially true in Mainland China with the development of The Belt and Road Initiative. Strategic talent and candidates with middle and high-end management experience who are also familiar with Asian culture and laws are in short supply, as are technical talent, who are in high demand for the electricity, transportation and telecommunication sectors.As IOT and related industries are currently booming across the region, both hardware and software engineers are needed to build IOT and IIOT platforms, as well as develop and integrate artificial intelligence for initiatives like urban planning for smart cities. Mainland China is making artificial intelligence one of its key strategies and has become one of the world leaders in this field, and both South Korea and Singapore have vigorously promoted the cultivation of artificial intelligence capabilities. “ “9 MECHANICAL AND INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING FIERCE COMPETITION IN A GROWING FIELD The mechanical and industrial engineering sector includes companies that specialise in operations including engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC), installation and commissioning, and operation and maintenance (O&M). These are all operations that are necessary for facilities ranging from oil and gas to electricity, transportation infrastructure to water and waste treatment. Throughout the 21st century, the main players in this sector have shifted from European and North American companies to those headquartered in Japan, China, South Korea and Turkey, both because of technology advancements and price competition, which can be cut-throat in the mechanical and industrial engineering field. The global market reached US$1.5 billion in 2017 after years of decline, and this growth is largely attributed to the pace of economic development in emerging countries that are investing in large-scale transportation, oil and electric power industries. In addition, domestic orders grew in 2017, accounting for nearly 70% of orders among the top 250 companies. This is believed to be a result of low-cost contractors out of Asia causing an adverse effect on the market, in addition to political factors such as Brexit. TOP PLAYERS FOR MECHANICAL AND INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING The rankings include total revenue of a companys other business beyond the subject sector 1 6 2 7 3 8 4 9 STRABAG SE Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction Co., Ltd. China National Chemical Engineering Co., Ltd. Saipem S.p.A. 5 10 Vinci SA Power Construction Corporation of China Ltd Metallurgical Corporation of China Ltd Shandong Electric Power Corporation Fluor CorporationAs the leaders in this sector shift, competition is intensifying. Though companies from Asia have yet to overtake European companies in terms of market revenue, they are commanding more market share of production and are expected to continue their upward trajectory thanks to the ability to offer low- cost options that companies from Europe and North America are unable to compete with. Chinese and Turkish Companies on the Rise The top mechanical and industrial engineering companies have historically been based in Europe but in 2017, the number of European companies amongst the top 250 international companies for this sector came in at 18%, a decrease of a little more than 2% from 2015. This is due to increasing competition from companies hailing from China and Turkey which now hold the top two spots on the list, with shares of nearly 28% and 18.4% respectively. Though these new competitors are increasing market share, when it comes to revenue, European companies are still the leader, with a share of 47% in 2017 Chinese companies controlled 24%, comparatively. However, as companies from these nations partner together for new construction ventures in emerging economies throughout Africa, it will be interesting to see if the partnerships move into other realms of the Industrial industry 5 . THOUGH COMPANIES FROM ASIA HAVE YET TO OVERTAKE EUROPEAN COMPANIES IN TERMS OF MARKET REVENUE, THEY ARE COMMANDING MORE MARKET SHARE
