UOB's 2026 Business Outlook survey reveals that while over 60% of Thai entrepreneurs remain confident in business growth, external challenges—geopolitical volatility, trade policy shifts, and supply chain disruptions—are now the primary concerns. The outlook emphasizes that Thai businesses must build resilience through supply chain diversification, AI and digital technology investment, ESG adoption, and market expansion via FTAs. Government agencies (BOI, DITP, depa) are positioning sustainability and digital transformation not as environmental imperatives but as essential competitive factors for attracting investment in a restructured global economy.
