Key summary
The Thailand Shipping Association (SRT) predicts that Thai exports in 2027 will grow at a double-digit rate, bolstered by an 18.9% increase in the first eight months of the year. President Thanakorn Kasetsuwan expects full-year export growth to be adjusted to 14-16%, driven primarily by electronics benefiting from the AI boom. However, agricultural and food exports remain negative at -2.4%, highlighting a need for diversified economic drivers beyond electronics.
