Thailand Textile Market Analysis

Owing to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has hit the textile industry which resulted in a downtrend of revenues recorded from the textile industry during 2020. The textile industry incurred a loss of more than TBH 150 billion and half the companies in the textile and related industry have experienced shut down, leaving more people unemployed. The pandemic's impact on the economy is continuing in 2021 as well, which resulted in the Bank of Thailand revised the economic growth forecast in 2021 down from 3.6% to 3.2% due mainly to a second wave of the virus in Thailand in December 2020 and the prolonged outbreak of COVID-19 abroad.

Thailand's textile industry is a major non-western entity that constitutes more than 2,000 garment companies and an almost equal number of textile firms, most of which are located around Bangkok and eastern Thailand. The textile and apparel industry of the country plays a key role in the country's GDP and export revenue. The textile industry in the country is quite expansive in nature, with a greater level of proficiency in the production, design, and sale of home textiles. It is a world-renowned silk producer, which also manufactures spin or twists yarn. It is also excelling in the latest trend of eco-friendly finishing, dyeing, and printing services, which meet global standards, although it has to deal with some issues.

Domestic consumer demand is lower in the Thai textile and garments industry, due to lower purchasing power, which is compelling the players to scour foreign markets to sell their textile and apparel products. Also, the textile industry in the country faces a shortage of raw materials. For instance, it produces hardly 2% of the raw cotton that is in demand for its cotton fabric manufacturing. This may hinder the newer market opportunities as compared with China and India. Currently, the garment industry supports more than 1 million employees, while the textile industry employs about 200,000 people, making these two industries the second most important employment sector in the country.
