Powered by its Industry 4.0 and EEC (Eastern Economic Corridor) dual strategies, Thailand is emerging as Southeast Asia’s premier high-end manufacturing hub, creating unprecedented industrial cooperation opportunities for China and ASEAN.
Boasting ASEAN’s top automotive output and mature precision and electronic manufacturing chains, Thailand sees dominant market penetration of Chinese new energy vehicle brands. Backed by robust Chinese investment in new energy, intelligent manufacturing and robotics, the country’s booming demand for die-casting equipment, industrial robots and digital manufacturing systems offers enormous export potential for Chinese advanced manufacturing technologies.
With most local factories in urgent need of intelligent and green upgrades, Thailand presents a multi-billion-dollar market for high-end equipment and industrial digital solutions.
As a core industrial platform connecting China and ASEAN, METAL THAILAND 2026 will be held from October 14-16 at BITEC Bangkok. Centering on smart manufacturing and green transformation, the exhibition gathers authoritative associations, enterprises and research institutions across Southeast Asia. It serves as a vital bridge for Chinese metal forming, mould, machinery and automotive manufacturing technologies to enter the ASEAN market, facilitating in-depth technical exchanges and win-win industrial cooperation.
