Thailand Private Investment Eases in June

2026-07-31 07:53 By Nicole Aliyah 1 min. read

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.

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.

Thailand Private Investment Weakens Further in April
Private investment in Thailand tumbled by 5.0% month-on-month in April 2026, deepening from a 3.5% decline in the previous month. It marked the steepest decline since December 2023, driven primarily by private vehicle and machinery and equipment index. However, several components of investment activity remained relatively resilient with imports of machinery and equipment and domestic sales of machinery and equipment also posted gains. In addition, private construction investment rose during the month, supported by continued activity in both residential and infrastructure-related projects.
