PwC: Supply-Chain Diversification, AI and Energy Transition Open New Growth Paths for Thailand

A new PwC Thailand report shows the country entering a fresh investment phase as supply chains shift, AI adoption grows and clean energy expands. With $86 billion in 2025 FDI inflows, Thailand targets digital infrastructure, automotive, tourism and food processing, though success depends on upgrading infrastructure, talent and regulatory execution across the ASEAN gateway.

PwC: Supply-Chain Diversification, AI and Energy Transition Open New Growth Paths for Thailand

A new report from PwC Thailand suggests that diversification in the supply chain, artificial intelligence (AI), and the energy transition are opening up new opportunities for foreign direct investment in the country. The report highlights four key sectors - automotive manufacturing (particularly electric vehicles), logistics, tourism and healthcare services, and agricultural exports - that are expected to attract significant foreign investment.

Thailand's strategic position as a gateway to ASEAN and its established manufacturing base are seen as advantages, but sustained growth will depend on improvements in infrastructure, workforce skills, and energy capacity. The country recorded $86 billion in gross foreign direct investment inflows in 2025, with China, Singapore, and the EU as leading sources, ahead of key meetings at the IMF and World Bank in Bangkok.

Recent investments by tech giants such as Google, Western Digital, and BYD demonstrate growing momentum in Thailand's economy.
