Thailand exports hit record high in September 2026

Thailand's exports reached a record monthly high of $38,438.9 million in September 2026, representing a 24% increase compared to the same period last year. This marks the 27th consecutive month of expansion. Growth was primarily driven by electronics, as Thailand remains a key player in the global AI hardware supply chain.

However, imports surged by 50.4% to $44,295.6 million, driven by high demand for raw materials, semi-finished goods, and capital goods such as computers, electrical machinery, and circuits used for production. This resulted in a trade deficit of $5,856.6 million for the month. For the first nine months of 2026, total exports stood at $304,588.6 million, up 19.6% year-on-year.
