Thailand Construction Market Size, Trend Analysis by Sector (Commercial, Industrial, Infrastructure, Energy and Utilities, Institutional and Residential) and Forecast, 2023-2027
Summary
GlobalData expects the Thailand construction industry to record growth of 2.1% in real terms in 2023, following an estimated contraction of 3.9% in 2022. Supply chain disruption, rising inflation, and flooding in major provinces hampered construction project development and new investment, resulting in a 4.3% year-on-year (YoY) contraction in construction value add in the first three quarters of 2022. However, growth this year will be aided by public and private investments in the development of industrial and infrastructure projects. According to Thailand's Board of Investments (BOI), the country received 1,247 applications for investment promotion totaling THB439.1 billion ($12.9 billion) and 1,197 projects receiving investment promotion approval totaling TBH502.7 billion between January and September 2022.
The construction industry's output is expected to rise at an annual average rate of 4.3% between 2024 and 2027, supported by investment in transportation, energy, and housing projects. Despite the economic disruption, the government expects private investment in the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) to reach THB500 billion ($14.7 billion) annually between 2023 and 2027. In addition to significant public expenditure, the government hopes to attract private capital to finance 77 projects through the Public Private partnership (PPP) model, with an estimated THB1 trillion ($29.4 billion) in expenditure between 2020 and 2027.
