Thailand’s export growth surged 14.6% YoY in October 2024, bolstered by trade war (Business Brief No.4101)

คะแนนเฉลี่ย
  • Thai exports grew by 14.6 percent YoY in October 2024, surpassing market expectations. Key drivers included uncertainties surrounding geopolitics and the US election results, which fueled a 169.3 percent YoY surge in gold exports. Additionally, increased imports from the US and the upturn in the electronics cycle supported the growth.
  • KResearch projects Thai exports for 2024 may grow approximately 4.5 percent, higher than our prior estimate. This is attributed to the upturn in the electronics cycle, geopolitical uncertainties, and potential acceleration in US imports ahead of the policy implementation.
  • For 2025, Thailand’s export growth is expected to slow down from that seen in 2024, as risks from a potential new round of trade wars may weigh on trade performance.
