INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
It is well recognized that the machinery
industry is a crucial supporting industry
to the manufacturing sector, which
plays a significant role in Thailand’s
overall economy. This can be seen by
the continued growth of both these
industries. In 2014, the trade value of
machinery and parts reached US$22.91
billion, nearly a 130% increase from
2009 levels.
Despite continued growth, developmental
gaps are still apparent in the industry,
as the production of highly complex
and precise technological machinery
is still in short supply in Thailand. This
has resulted in the country being mainly
reliant on importing those products.
According to the Ministry of Commerce,
machinery and parts was ranked 2nd
in terms of highest import value. In
2014, Thailand imported machinery and
parts products worth US$15.23 billion,
a 107% increase from 2009.
Apart from that, ongoing regional
economic expansion has contributed
to the growth of Thailand’s machinery
and parts exports, leading to a 193%
increase from 2009 to 2014.
In 2014, major import sources for
machinery and parts were Japan
(31.5%), China (19.2%) and Germany
(9%). Conversely, the main export
destinations for Thai machinery and
parts were Japan (10.4%), United States
(9.2%) and Indonesia (8.5%).

WHY THAILAND
Thailand offers a number of advantages
for manufacturing in the machinery and
parts industry. These include:
Strong Business Climate: World Bank
Doing Business 2015 report indicated
that Thailand was ranked 26th
in the
world and 5rd
in East Asia and the Pacific
in terms of ease of doing business.
Cluster Development: In order
to promote greater productivity and
efficiency in the machinery and mould
& die industry, the government has
encouraged the development of
machinery and mould & die associations.
Proximity between manufacturing
firms and their suppliers allows for
not only enhanced communication,
but also improved flow of goods and
lower costs. The four major mould &
die associations in Thailand are the
Mould & Die Cluster of Thailand (MDCT),
Thai Tool and Die Industry Association
(TDIA), Nano Global Precision Cluster
(NGPC) and the Thai Mould and Parts
Cluster (TMPC).
Growing Domestic Demand:
The manufacturing sector in Thailand
has exhibited continued growth and
is expected to maintain that trajectory.
This industry contributes significantly
to the overall success of Thailand’s
economy. More importantly, this sector
relies heavily on machinery, mould
and die equipment and materials. As
such the machinery sector could also
expect to see further expansions. Major
manufacturing industries include:
Automotive industry
•	 Thailand is Southeast Asia’s largest
vehicle producer and world’s largest
manufacturer of one-ton pick-up
trucks.
•	 In 2014, Thailand was the world’s 12th
largest automobile manufacturing
country
•	 Vehicle production volume in 2014
reached 1.88 million units, an 88%
increase from 2009.
Electronics and electrical appliances
industry
•	 Thailand is a world leading computer
data storage unit manufacturing
base, boasting the 2nd
highest export
value in the world after China.
•	 Thailand is also the world’s second
largest producers of air conditioning
units.
•	 The market growth of small electronic
appliances in the middle of 2015
in Thailand was estimated to be
approximately 5%.
Food processing industry
•	 Thailand is one of the world’s largest
producers of food products such
as rice, canned tuna, sugar cane,
frozen seafood, chicken and canned
pineapple product.
•	 In 2014, Thailand ranks 2nd in the
world for net export for sugars, 9th
for vegetables and 16th
for seafood.
•	 Food consumption expenditure in
Thailand increased by 3.8% in 2014.
Construction industry
•	 Thailand’s government budget for
public investments in 2016 includes
up to US$4.16 billion planned for
expanding roads, mass transit and
water management systems. The
two main mass transit systems in
Thailand are the Mass Rapid Transit
(MRT) and the Bangkok Mass Transit
System (BTS).
•	 The construction industry in Thailand
is forecasted to grow in 2016 mainly
due to government investment in
the industry which has increased
by 74% and investments by state
enterprise increasing by 30%.
•	 The government is currently
implementing an 8 year (2015-2022)
infrastructure investment plan, with
a budget of around US$75 billion,
which aims to significantly expand
and improve the country’s railway,
road, mass transit, water and air
transport.
Access to Markets: In order to
enhance global commerce opportunities,
Thailand has bilateral free trade
agreements with many countries,
including Japan, India, China,
Australia, and New Zealand. Thailand
is also currently in the process of
establishing free trade agreements with
the European Union, Canada, Turkey,
and Chile. As a member of ASEAN,
Thailand participates in multilateral free
trade agreements with China, South
Korea, Australia, New Zealand, India,
and Japan. Furthermore, the ASEAN
Free Trade Agreement (AFTA) has
expanded Thailand’s market to include
the 10 member states of ASEAN that
collectively comprise a market of 600
million consumers.
The establishment of the ASEAN
Economic Community (AEC) in 2015
will fully integrate this US$2 trillion
market into the global economy.
This new economic bloc with
streamlined movement of goods,
services, and investment capital will
provide unparalleled opportunities for
manufacturers.
Great Infrastructure: Located at
the center of Southeast Asia, Thailand
has become a transportation hub for
the region, with convenient routes
through the east-west and north-
south corridor facilitating access to
all nearby countries including Laos,
Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Malaysia
and Singapore and also southern China
from the north and northeast of the
Kingdom. Thailand boasts world-class
infrastructure, including Bangkok’s
Suvarnabhumi International Airport,
Laem Chabang —a leading deep-sea
port—, extensive road networks, rail
links to all regions of the country and
modern communication facilities, all of
which combine to offer manufacturers
easy and efficient exporting.
Competitive Workforce: Thailand
offers a large pool of qualified and
affordable workforce. According to
the Department of Industrial Works, in
2014, there were more than 200,000
workers in the machinery manufacturing
industry. And as of August 2015, there
were 136,970 certified engineers in the
country that are accredited by the Thai
Council of Engineers.
Investor-friendly Environment:
In addition to the many incentives
provided by the BOI, the Thai
government imposes no export
requirements, no local content
requirements and no foreign equity
restrictions on manufacturers.
Excellent Institutional Support:
The Thai government is aware of
the need to support the continued
development of machinery industries,
as well as the technological capabilities
of its workforce. Thailand offers many
resources for research and development
(R&D), technical training and industrial
organizations, including:
•	 Thai-German Institute (TGI)
•	 Machinery Intelligence Unit (MIU)
•	 National Metal and Materials Center
(MTEC)
•	 Thai Tool and Die Industry Association
(TDIA)
•	 Bureau of Supporting Industries
Development (BSID)
•	 Thailand-Japan Technology Promotion
Association (TJTPA)
•	 Metals and Materials Research Center

“There are numerous positive factors for foreign investors to consider in
investing in business and industries in Thailand. First of all, Thailand’s
geography and its port access is convenient from a logistical standpoint,
apart from that it also offers quality skilled workers at a reasonable rate.
Additionally, the Thai government has policies supporting investments
through the BOI. The main benefits of that policy that affect production
cost are the import duty exemption and VAT for bringing in machinery and
raw materials for production and export. All these factors are important
considerations when deciding to invest somewhere. The positive
outcome of these factors in Thailand can be seen by the increasing
numbers of foreign investments here.”

  • 2. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW It is well recognized that the machinery industry is a crucial supporting industry to the manufacturing sector, which plays a significant role in Thailand’s overall economy. This can be seen by the continued growth of both these industries. In 2014, the trade value of machinery and parts reached US$22.91 billion, nearly a 130% increase from 2009 levels. Despite continued growth, developmental gaps are still apparent in the industry, as the production of highly complex and precise technological machinery is still in short supply in Thailand. This has resulted in the country being mainly reliant on importing those products. According to the Ministry of Commerce, machinery and parts was ranked 2nd in terms of highest import value. In 2014, Thailand imported machinery and parts products worth US$15.23 billion, a 107% increase from 2009. Apart from that, ongoing regional economic expansion has contributed to the growth of Thailand’s machinery and parts exports, leading to a 193% increase from 2009 to 2014. In 2014, major import sources for machinery and parts were Japan (31.5%), China (19.2%) and Germany (9%). Conversely, the main export destinations for Thai machinery and parts were Japan (10.4%), United States (9.2%) and Indonesia (8.5%).

  • 7. WHY THAILAND Thailand offers a number of advantages for manufacturing in the machinery and parts industry. These include: Strong Business Climate: World Bank Doing Business 2015 report indicated that Thailand was ranked 26th in the world and 5rd in East Asia and the Pacific in terms of ease of doing business. Cluster Development: In order to promote greater productivity and efficiency in the machinery and mould & die industry, the government has encouraged the development of machinery and mould & die associations. Proximity between manufacturing firms and their suppliers allows for not only enhanced communication, but also improved flow of goods and lower costs. The four major mould & die associations in Thailand are the Mould & Die Cluster of Thailand (MDCT), Thai Tool and Die Industry Association (TDIA), Nano Global Precision Cluster (NGPC) and the Thai Mould and Parts Cluster (TMPC). Growing Domestic Demand: The manufacturing sector in Thailand has exhibited continued growth and is expected to maintain that trajectory. This industry contributes significantly to the overall success of Thailand’s economy. More importantly, this sector relies heavily on machinery, mould and die equipment and materials. As such the machinery sector could also expect to see further expansions. Major manufacturing industries include: Automotive industry • Thailand is Southeast Asia’s largest vehicle producer and world’s largest manufacturer of one-ton pick-up trucks. • In 2014, Thailand was the world’s 12th largest automobile manufacturing country • Vehicle production volume in 2014 reached 1.88 million units, an 88% increase from 2009. Electronics and electrical appliances industry • Thailand is a world leading computer data storage unit manufacturing base, boasting the 2nd highest export value in the world after China. • Thailand is also the world’s second largest producers of air conditioning units. • The market growth of small electronic appliances in the middle of 2015 in Thailand was estimated to be approximately 5%. Food processing industry • Thailand is one of the world’s largest producers of food products such as rice, canned tuna, sugar cane, frozen seafood, chicken and canned pineapple product. • In 2014, Thailand ranks 2nd in the world for net export for sugars, 9th for vegetables and 16th for seafood. • Food consumption expenditure in Thailand increased by 3.8% in 2014. Construction industry • Thailand’s government budget for public investments in 2016 includes up to US$4.16 billion planned for expanding roads, mass transit and water management systems. The two main mass transit systems in Thailand are the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) and the Bangkok Mass Transit System (BTS). • The construction industry in Thailand is forecasted to grow in 2016 mainly due to government investment in the industry which has increased by 74% and investments by state enterprise increasing by 30%. • The government is currently implementing an 8 year (2015-2022) infrastructure investment plan, with a budget of around US$75 billion, which aims to significantly expand and improve the country’s railway, road, mass transit, water and air transport. Access to Markets: In order to enhance global commerce opportunities, Thailand has bilateral free trade agreements with many countries, including Japan, India, China, Australia, and New Zealand. Thailand is also currently in the process of establishing free trade agreements with the European Union, Canada, Turkey, and Chile. As a member of ASEAN, Thailand participates in multilateral free trade agreements with China, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, India, and Japan. Furthermore, the ASEAN Free Trade Agreement (AFTA) has expanded Thailand’s market to include the 10 member states of ASEAN that collectively comprise a market of 600 million consumers. The establishment of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in 2015 will fully integrate this US$2 trillion market into the global economy. This new economic bloc with streamlined movement of goods, services, and investment capital will provide unparalleled opportunities for manufacturers.
  • 8. Great Infrastructure: Located at the center of Southeast Asia, Thailand has become a transportation hub for the region, with convenient routes through the east-west and north- south corridor facilitating access to all nearby countries including Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Malaysia and Singapore and also southern China from the north and northeast of the Kingdom. Thailand boasts world-class infrastructure, including Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi International Airport, Laem Chabang —a leading deep-sea port—, extensive road networks, rail links to all regions of the country and modern communication facilities, all of which combine to offer manufacturers easy and efficient exporting. Competitive Workforce: Thailand offers a large pool of qualified and affordable workforce. According to the Department of Industrial Works, in 2014, there were more than 200,000 workers in the machinery manufacturing industry. And as of August 2015, there were 136,970 certified engineers in the country that are accredited by the Thai Council of Engineers. Investor-friendly Environment: In addition to the many incentives provided by the BOI, the Thai government imposes no export requirements, no local content requirements and no foreign equity restrictions on manufacturers. Excellent Institutional Support: The Thai government is aware of the need to support the continued development of machinery industries, as well as the technological capabilities of its workforce. Thailand offers many resources for research and development (R&D), technical training and industrial organizations, including: • Thai-German Institute (TGI) • Machinery Intelligence Unit (MIU) • National Metal and Materials Center (MTEC) • Thai Tool and Die Industry Association (TDIA) • Bureau of Supporting Industries Development (BSID) • Thailand-Japan Technology Promotion Association (TJTPA) • Metals and Materials Research Center – Kasetsart University • Thailand’s Institute of Scientific and Technology Research (TISTR) • National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) “There are numerous positive factors for foreign investors to consider in investing in business and industries in Thailand. First of all, Thailand’s geography and its port access is convenient from a logistical standpoint, apart from that it also offers quality skilled workers at a reasonable rate. Additionally, the Thai government has policies supporting investments through the BOI. The main benefits of that policy that affect production cost are the import duty exemption and VAT for bringing in machinery and raw materials for production and export. All these factors are important considerations when deciding to invest somewhere. The positive outcome of these factors in Thailand can be seen by the increasing numbers of foreign investments here.” -Mr. Yohei Toda, Managing Director & Ms. Nisanath Matklang, Logistics Manager of Sato-Shoji (Thailand) Co., Ltd.- BOI INVESTMENT INCENTIVES Thailand’s Board of Investment (BOI) offers a wide range of tax and non- tax incentives for projects that meet national development objectives. Tax-based incentives include exemption of import duties on machinery and raw materials, and corporate income tax exemption of up to eight years. Non-tax incentives include permission to bring in expatriates, own land and take or remit foreign currency abroad. Recognizing the importance of the role machinery plays in the continued economic development of Thailand, the Board of Investments offers attractive incentives to projects that manufacture machinery. Projects approved for the manufacture of automation machinery and/or automation equipment with engineering design are granted an 8-year corporate income tax holiday, exemptions of import duty on machinery and import duty on raw or essential materials used in manufacturing export products, as well as non-tax incentives.
