Private investment in Thailand increased by 0.5% month-on-month in June 2026, easing from a 1.2% increase in the previous month, marking the softest monthly increase since January 2025. Despite the moderation, investment remained supported by continued spending on machinery and equipment, driven by stronger exports of technology-related products amid the global electronics upcycle. Ongoing investment in data centers and digital infrastructure also sustained capital expenditure. Meanwhile, electric vehicle (EV) sales increased as elevated fuel prices and shifting consumer preferences boosted demand, encouraging investment across the EV supply chain. Construction activity edged up overall, supported by industrial and commercial projects despite cautious business sentiment and tighter financial conditions. source: Bank of Thailand

Thailand Private Investment Increases in May
Private investment in Thailand increased by 1.2% month-on-month in May 2026, rebounding from a 5.0% drop in the previous month. The improvement was driven mainly by stronger vehicle investment, supported by higher passenger car registrations and increased ship imports by transportation businesses. Meanwhile, investment in machinery and equipment remained broadly stable, as higher net imports of capital goods, particularly computers and office equipment, were offset by weaker domestic machinery sales. Construction investment edged lower due to reduced activity in non-residential buildings, especially commercial projects, while residential construction strengthened in line with higher permitted construction areas for houses and townhouses.
