Thailand's once-robust export growth has seen a dramatic downturn, with new data revealing a significant decline for October 2025. The nation's export growth rate has slumped to 5.3%, a steep drop from September's robust 19.2%, as reported in the latest updates on November 28, 2025. This change reflects a year-over-year comparison, signifying a stark decrease when examining the same periods annually.
The downturn in Thailand's exports this October compared to the data from October 2024 raises concerns about the resilience of the export sector. Just last month, exports appeared to be on a solid upward trajectory, but the sudden slowdown suggests potential vulnerabilities in the global market dynamics affecting Thailand's trade.
Industry experts are now pointing towards various global economic factors that could have contributed to this cooling in export growth. These may include shifts in international demand, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, or even emerging economic policies from key trading partners. The Thai government and exporters may need to brace for more challenging times ahead if this downward trend continues.Just last month, exports appeared to be on a solid upward trajectory, but the sudden slowdown suggests potential vulnerabilities in the global market dynamics affecting Thailand's trade.
