Consumer confidence in Thailand has taken a slight downturn, as the latest data reveals a decrease in the Consumer Confidence Index to 51.9 for December 2025, down from November's 53.2. This marks a concerning trend as the sentiment continues to weaken amid ongoing economic challenges.
The latest figures, updated on 8 January 2026, underscore the growing concern among consumers regarding the economic outlook, reflecting uncertainties in both domestic and global markets. The drop in confidence suggests that consumers are becoming increasingly cautious, possibly influenced by external factors such as fluctuating global markets and internal economic policies.
Economists will be closely monitoring these developments, as sustained declines in consumer confidence can potentially lead to reduced consumer spending—a critical driver of economic growth. With these latest results, stakeholders may need to reassess current strategies to revitalize consumer sentiment and support an environment conducive to economic recovery and growth in 2026.
