Summary
The Thai construction industry suffered a double blow in the review period, firstly from the global
economic crisis in 2008-2009 and then from the record breaking floods in 2011, with activity levels
declining by 5.3% in 2008 and 2.3% in 2011. The industry recorded a quick recovery in 2012, registering
a growth of 7.6%. The construction industry is expected to continue to progress at a steady pace over the
forecast period and register a CAGR of 6.67%. Growth in the industry will be largely supported by
measures initiated by the government to develop the industry, with an intention to become the regional
hub of the proposed ASEAN Economic Council (AEC) in 2015. Thailand is no longer regarded as a low-
cost manufacturing hub, but it remains a key player in the region in various sectors, such as automotive
and high-tech manufacturing. Growth will also be supported by the introduction of Real Estate Investment
Trust’s (REIT), the need to set up special care centers for the rapidly aging population and the rising
attractiveness of Thailand as a preferred destination for tourists from across the world, with purposes
spanning leisure, business and medical care activities.

Thailand’s economy grew by 6.4% on an annual basis in 2012, up from just 0.1% growth in 2011 as
severe floods late in the year resulted in a sharp 8.9% annual contraction in GDP in the fourth quarter.
The expansion in 2012 was mainly driven by private consumption, which accounts for around 55% of total
GDP and grew by 6.6% in 2012.
Thailand’s economic growth is not expected to sustain the rapid annual pace recorded in 2012, as the
flood-induced low base of comparison effect ebbs away. However, the economy is still anticipated to grow
at a healthy rate in the forecast period. The increase in the national daily minimum wage to THB300 will
support private consumption, while export growth is likely to regain momentum once the global economic
perspective turns positive in the near future. Gross fixed investment will be boosted by government-led
infrastructure projects such as high-speed railways.
Consumer price inflation recorded an annual rate of 3% in 2012, down from 3.8% in 2011. However, the
rate of inflation is expected to pick up due to the rise of the national minimum wage of THB300 in early
2013, as well as a faster pace of economic expansion.

2. The formation of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), with an objective to create a common
production base and market for all the ASEAN countries by 2015, represents a huge opportunity for
different companies in the construction industry, as the market would serve around 600 million people
from the region. The proposed AEC is expected to facilitate free flow of goods, services, labor and
investment in the ASEAN region. The AEC would benefit Thailand’s construction industry tremendously
as several industrial, commercial and residential projects would be taken up to cater for the needs of the
huge single market.
There is a need to increase electricity generation capacity in Thailand due to a significant rise in demand.
The government has initiated measures to increase electricity generation capacity twofold; to take the
figure to 70 GW by 2030. The need to match generation capacity with rising demand is expected to drive
growth in energy infrastructure.
