Thailand's high-tech exports, as a share of manufactured exports, stood at 27.31 percent in 2025, ranking the country 20th globally according to World Bank data. Over a 19-year period from 2007 to 2025, the indicator fluctuated between an all-time peak of 28.31 percent in 2024 and a trough of 22.15 percent in 2013, reflecting sensitivity to global demand and regional supply chain dynamics. The 2007 value was 28.03 percent, indicating that recent levels have nearly recovered to early highs. In comparative terms, Thailand's 2025 performance was closely followed by Australia at 27.09 percent and Norway at 27.06 percent, suggesting similar structural positions in technology-intensive export sectors despite differing economic scales. Although the slight rebound toward the 2024 peak implies resilience in export-oriented electronics and digital goods, sustained growth will depend on advancements in domestic innovation, integration into advanced semiconductor supply chains, and policy support for high-value manufacturing. Without deeper investment in research and workforce upskilling, the current trajectory may plateau.
