Thailand’s exports rose 10.2% year-on-year in April, exceeding market forecasts and signaling sustained momentum in the country’s trade sector, according to the commerce ministry. The figure outperformed analysts’ expectations of a 9.1% gain, continuing a positive trend from March’s 17.8% surge.
The better-than-expected results highlight Thailand’s resilient export performance amid global economic uncertainties. Strong demand across various sectors, including electronics, automotive parts, and agricultural products, contributed to the steady growth. This marks the second consecutive month of double-digit export expansion, reinforcing optimism for the rest of the year.
The commerce ministry noted that consistent external demand and effective trade policies have played a key role in boosting exports. The ministry also emphasized that regional trade recovery and improved logistics efficiency helped support April’s figures.
The latest data offers reassurance to investors and policymakers that Thailand’s export-driven economy is on a recovery path. The strong showing in April reflects underlying strength in global demand for Thai goods, despite concerns over inflation and geopolitical tensions.
Thailand’s export growth remains a critical factor in supporting GDP and economic recovery in 2025. With global trade expected to gradually rebound, continued export strength will be vital for maintaining economic stability.
This solid performance positions Thailand as a key player in Southeast Asia’s trade landscape and could encourage further foreign investment. If the current trajectory holds, Thailand may outperform earlier full-year export forecasts.
