Textile Industry in Thailand: USD 5.39 Billion by 2032 with Fashion and Apparel Accounting for 62.58% Share in 2026, Says Mordor Intelligence

Thailand textile market is growing at a 1.31% CAGR from 2027 to 2032, with Greater Bangkok and nearby Samut Prakan accounting for the largest geographical share in 2025.

Hyderabad, India, Nov. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- According to Mordor Intelligence, the Thailand textile market size is valued at USD 4.97 billion in 2026 and is estimated to reach USD 5.05 billion in 2027 and USD 5.39 billion by 2032, at a CAGR of 1.31% during (2027–2032). Growth is supported by domestic fiber and yarn manufacturing, machinery modernization, and demand for faster garment replenishment. Government incentives for eligible machinery investments are also encouraging manufacturers to improve production efficiency and upgrade existing facilities. However, competition from lower-cost apparel imports from China and Vietnam, along with the rising cost of developing skilled garment workers, may limit returns from large-scale capacity expansion. These conditions are prompting textile producers to prioritize targeted machinery upgrades, cost-efficient operations, and specialized nonwoven applications over broad-based production expansion. 

Thailand Textile Market Growth Drivers 

E-commerce Growth Encouraging Faster Apparel Replenishment 

The expansion of online retail is creating opportunities for Thailand’s textile and apparel suppliers to improve inventory planning and respond more quickly to changing consumer preferences. Better coordination between online and physical-store stock helps distributors allocate products according to demand, while sales insights support more flexible production planning. This approach allows garment manufacturers to improve replenishment efficiency, reduce inventory imbalances, and respond to market demand without unnecessary capacity expansion. 

Domestic Travel Supporting Demand for Casual and Resort Apparel 

Growing domestic travel is creating additional demand for casual clothing and resort wear across Thailand. Purchases of lightweight garments, shirts, shorts, and travel apparel provide opportunities for local garment manufacturers and fabric suppliers. Demand linked to seasonal travel also encourages shorter production runs and faster replenishment, allowing manufacturers to respond to changing consumer preferences while managing inventory and production costs. 

Domestic Fiber Production Strengthening Textile Manufacturing 

Thailand’s established polyester and viscose fiber manufacturing base provides local textile producers with access to essential raw materials for fabric production. Domestic availability of synthetic and cellulosic fibers supports material flexibility and reduces reliance on imported inputs. This upstream supply network also creates opportunities for fabric manufacturers to align fiber and yarn specifications with end-use requirements, improve sourcing efficiency, and strengthen local textile production capabilities. 

Jayveer V, Senior Research Manager, Mordor Intelligence says, “Thailand’s textile industry reflects a balance between established domestic manufacturing capabilities, evolving apparel demand, and competitive cost pressures. Mordor Intelligence applies a consistent research approach, combining market data and industry insights to provide decision-makers with a reliable basis for evaluating market developments and business opportunities.”

Thailand Textile Market Analysis by Region 

The Eastern Economic Corridor, comprising Rayong, Chonburi, and Chachoengsao, is expected to be Thailand’s fastest-growing textile-producing region. Its manufacturing base includes World Flex’s elastic-yarn plant and Toyobo Indorama Advanced Fibers’ airbag-yarn operations in Rayong, providing local textile manufacturers with access to specialized materials for apparel and automotive applications. 

Textile manufacturing across Thailand’s provinces spans garment production, traditional weaving, and specialized industrial fabrics. Lamphun supports finished-garment manufacturing through Wacoal Lamphun, while Chiang Mai has an established handwoven textile base through Studio Naenna. Chachoengsao adds technical textile capabilities through Asia Kangnam’s production of glass, carbon, aramid, and silica fabrics, creating diverse opportunities for regional manufacturing growth. 

Greater Bangkok and nearby Samut Prakan form Thailand’s largest textile manufacturing cluster, supported by established weaving, dyeing, and garment production facilities. The region benefits from connectivity to Suvarnabhumi Airport and Laem Chabang Port, supporting the movement of textile inputs and finished products.
