Growing sales of retail products through the online distribution channel are driving the demand for road freight services
- Thailand's automotive industry has established itself as a major player in the global market, with auto parts and accessories accounting for a significant portion of its exports. In 2022 alone, the manufacturing segment earned a total of USD 37.6 billion, with auto parts and accessories contributing USD 15.6 billion. Thailand is also one of the largest automotive manufacturers in Southeast Asia, producing over 2 million vehicles annually for various household brands. The country's Electric Vehicle Policy aims for 30% of the total vehicle production to account for electric cars by 2030.
- Sales of retail products through the online distribution channel have grown substantially in recent times. Thailand has around 48.6 million internet users, an increase of 5.9 million between 2021 and 2022. Along with the rapidly increasing number of internet users in Thailand, the e-commerce market has shown significant growth and the ability to meet trendy online shoppers over the past years. During 2017-2021, the e-commerce market in Thailand recorded a CAGR of 46.14%. Online shopping in Thailand has become easier as various online payment platforms were introduced to Thai spenders, providing more convenience and swiftness to the e-commerce market.
- The rise in construction activities is also likely to drive the construction end-user segment. Large projects such as Southern Motorway (USD 2.19 billion), Western Motorway 9 (USD 1.5 billion), and the high-speed train project (USD 8.4 billion) are expected to drive construction in the country. Growth may continue to be supported by government plans to attract foreign investment and develop affordable housing, which is expected to drive the demand for road freight services.
