Thailand has long been a regional leader of E&E production. Renowned for export of hard-disk drive as well as other electronic products, the country’s export reaches USD 34 billion in 2020 according to Ministry of Commerce. Beside HDD, key export products include integrated circuits (IC), semiconductor, transistor, diode, and other mobile equipment parts. These samples of product combined account for over 60 percent of E&E export.
In September 2014, the Thai government released a policy statement highlighting the nation’s plan to expand support of science, technology, research & development (R&D), and development & innovation. The new policy highlighted five separate targets to stimulate Thailand’s R&D capabilities.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

2. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Worldwide consumption of bioplastics
has increased more than 600% in the
past decades1
and expected to reach
40% market share of global plastics
market in 2030.2
This remarkable growth
is resulted from the global trend of
environmental awareness. That is why
66% of global respondents are willing
to pay more for bio product.3
Governments around the world also
ramp up with this trend. Bangladesh
is the first country in the world to ban
With more sophisticated materials, applications, and products emerging, the global
production capacity of bioplastics is forecasted to grow by 50 percent, from 4.2
million tons in 2016 to roughly 6.1 million tons in 2021.

bright future of bioplastics investment
that has been increased around the
world in the past few years as well as in
Thailand. The country’s largest energy

These gigantic
movements have tremendous effect
to world in order to become bio-based
community.
Asia will continue as a major production hub. In 2021, it is expected that more
than 45 percent of bioplastics will be produced in Asia, and a quarter of the global
production capacity will be based in Europe.
