Thai exports reached US$266 billion in January to August 2026, up 18.9%, driven by electronics and AI-related demand. The Thai National Shippers' Council is considering raising its full-year growth forecast to 14-16%, but warns the 18.9% pace will not last because some buyers pulled orders forward. Agro-exports fell 2.4%. For SMEs, the council flags limited access to working capital, export credit insurance and market information, plus energy and logistics costs, as the main constraints. Review your buyer concentration, export paperwork and standards compliance, and check whether export credit insurance is worth it before Q4 orders slow.
