This year, the challenges faced by Thailand's textile and garment enterprises are still the pressure to maintain competitiveness and overcome the increase in production costs. Meanwhile, the trend of appreciation of the baht will also affect the export prices of products and lead to fewer orders received by Thailand exporters.

To address these challenges, Thailand textile and garment exporters should pay more attention to improving production efficiency and producing products with higher added value.

The Thailand Investment Promotion Council is studying and revising, and vigorously encourages new investment promotion policies in the industries with advanced technology, enhancing labour skills to increase productivity and finding channels to expand production and sales to neighbouring countries with lower production costs.

Another issue of close attention to Thailand's textile and garment industry is the success of the Thailand EU free trade area negotiations and the negotiation of Thailand's accession to the p Pacific Partnership free trade agreement, which can bring benefits to the textile and garment industry.

However, the government will also consider the consequent impact comprehensively, because it may involve sensitive issues related to other industries and the interests of the general public.
