Thailand Construction Market Analysis

· The Thailand Construction Market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of approximately 6.5% during the forecast period.

· In 2018, Thailand’s construction industry, including both public and private construction, was valued at THB 1.3 trillion. Positive private construction outlooks stem from prospects of new buildings, such as office and residential projects. For office buildings, a new supply is expected, as the current occupancy rates are as high as 90%. As for residential projects, large developers are eyeing new mixed-used projects with anticipated high returns, coupled with the continuing trends of condominiums built along the electric train route

· Private sector construction spending rose to THB 290bn in 1H19, growing only 2.5% YoY (vs +6.9% YoY in 2H18). The major drag was a decline in residential construction jobs following tighter loan-to-value ratios effective April 2019. Consequently, property developers focused on selling inventory units instead of launching new projects. Public-sector construction spending grew at a faster rate of 5.7% year on year to THB377.5bn as work moved forward on largescale projects, including the MRT Green Line (Mo Chit-Saphan MaiKhu Khot) and Orange Line (Bangkok Cultural Center-Minburi), and the dual-track railway. This progress was facilitated by a 1.6% YoY increase in disbursements for public construction projects in 1H19

· Public sector work to lead the market, large infrastructure projects will drive activity in the industry. Nine megaprojects, worth 276.5 billion baht, began construction in 2018. Consequently, growth was marginal in the first nine months of 2018, at only 1.9% year-on-year. Residential property recovering, residential property development has always accounted for most of the construction activity in the private sector, averaging a 56% share from 2013-17.
