Thailand’s customs-based export growth has strengthened notably, with the latest data showing the indicator reaching 24.40% as of 23 February 2026. This marks a significant acceleration from the previous recorded growth rate of 16.80% in December 2025.
The sharp increase in export momentum suggests a continued rebound in Thailand’s external sector following year-end performance, with customs-based figures often watched closely as a timely gauge of trade activity. While specific product categories or destination markets were not disclosed, the move from 16.80% to 24.40% over this period indicates that demand for Thai goods abroad has improved further in early 2026.
Investors and policymakers are likely to interpret the latest customs-based export reading as a positive signal for Thailand’s near-term economic outlook, given the key role of exports in the country’s GDP and foreign exchange earnings. Further updates will be closely monitored to assess whether this pace of growth can be sustained over the coming months.
