Market Chatter: Toyota Plans First Domestic Factory Since 2012 Amid Labor Crunch

MT Newswires Live04-06 10:01

Toyota Motor (TYO:7203) plans to build a new plant in Toyota in the 2030s, marking its first domestic factory since 2012, with foreign workers expected to play a central role, Nikkei reported Sunday.

Nearby Homi Danchi, where about 60% of residents are foreign nationals, already supplies labor to the automaker's supply chain, according to the report.

Industry estimates suggest foreign workers must rise to 27% of Japan's auto workforce by 2040, from about 9%, to sustain current output levels, the report said.

Toyota and its suppliers are increasingly integrating foreign labor, underscoring a broader shift as labor shortages deepen and domestic production faces economic risks, according to the report.
