Thailand's private consumption is showing promising signs of recovery, according to recent data updates. After experiencing a decline of 1.5% in April 2025, the consumption index rebounded to a positive 0.2% in May 2025. This month-over-month comparison highlights a turnaround in consumer spending habits.
The restoration in May comes as a relief to many economists and market watchers who have been closely monitoring Thailand's consumption patterns. Negative growth in April had raised concerns, but May's figures suggest that consumer confidence might be regaining its footing.
The data, updated on June 30, 2025, underscores the importance of tracking consumer behavior as a barometer of economic health. With this upturn, there is cautious optimism that Thailand's economy is gradually regaining momentum.
