Although agriculture remains an important bedrock of the local economy, the town has several large industries owing to its advantageous location on the shoreline of Batangas Bay which is a deep natural harbor. Among its industries are chemicals, steel fabrication, and shipbuilding.

Bauan has the potential to become a premier industrial town. In fact it is strategically located on the Batangas southern industrial corridor which extends from Batangas City westward to Balayan town. There are business opportunities in agribusiness particularly food, feed, and fertilizer manufacturing, chemical, metal fabrication, machine-building, and real estate.
