คะแนนเฉลี่ย
  • Thailand’s cross-border and transit exports to China were valued at THB 52.1 billion in 1Q25, up 47.8 percent YoY, reflecting a promising transport channel in tapping into the Chinese market. The increase was supported by stronger demand for key Thai products in southern China – including HDDs, rubber, and fresh fruits like durian, mangosteen, and longan – coupled with efficient logistics via the China–Laos railway.
  • KResearch views that Thailand’s cross-border and transit exports to China will accelerate further in 2Q25. Key drivers include the supply of tropical fruits which are key agricultural exports in the market, and sustained demand for other Thai products among Chinese consumers. This positive momentum is expected to drive the country’s cross-border and transit trade with China for 2025 to grow by at least 7 percent, with an estimated value of THB 260 billion. China is thus set to remain Thailand’s No.1 cross-border and transit trade partner for the third consecutive year.
