Question

How much does the automotive industry in Wales generate for the Welsh economy?

Answer

Answered by Minister for Economy

We do not have a figure for total automotive GVA in Wales, due to the complexities of supply chain data.

However, the Welsh Automotive Forum estimates that its membership of 120 automotive companies generate in the region of £380m per annum for the Welsh economy.
