Thailand’s industrial production edged down 0.08 % year-on-year in October 2025, performing better than expected compared with a forecasted 0.6 % decline and reversing a modest upward revision in September. The drop marked the fifth consecutive monthly change in industrial output for the year, amid ongoing external challenges including global trade pressures.
Within the details, several key sectors registered growth, including automotive production (+9.11 %), electronic components and printed circuit boards (+12.38 %), basic iron and steel (+7.74 %) and computers and peripherals (+11.78 %). While some segments such as petroleum refining and rubber declined, the mixed performance suggests diversification within Thailand’s industrial base.
Although full-year industrial output fell, the Industry Ministry maintains its forecast of a rebound in 2026, with expectations of modest growth between 1 % to 2 %.
