Thailand's exports grew 21.6% in July 2026 (25 consecutive months of growth) to $34.8B, and 18.2% year-to-date. However, the Commerce Ministry (Deputy PM Supatchee Sutthammaphan) identifies a critical structural weakness: 80% of export revenues concentrate with 7,000 large companies, while 23,000 SMEs capture only 20%, leaving grassroots economies disconnected. To address this, the ministry is rolling out a "3 Balance" strategy: (1) Market Balance—diversify export destinations beyond China/US; (2) Product Balance—increase local content and value-add in supply chains; (3) Income Balance—redistribute export gains to SMEs and farmers. This signals a policy pivot from volume-driven exports toward inclusive, resilient growth that reaches Thailand's broader economy.
