ExECutivE OvErviEw
Published economic projections indicate a 3.8 - 4 per cent growth this year, supported by a positive outlook for developing Asia and China’s continued role as global market engine. Economists have expressed hopes for better performance for Thailand, but only in the scenario that certain plans and actions of the government fall in place.
The government has pledged THB1.5 trillion toward infrastructure, including building the Eastern Economic Corridor and other projects such as joint land transportation (high-speed train) ventures with China and Japan. These are intended to attract investors and bolster the economy in three eastern seaboard provinces.
In order to compete internationally, the country has been emphasising a shift towards a digital economy. It must follow through on its Thailand 4.0 roadmap, which looks promising as a concept to steer the nation away from the “middle-income economic trap” and toward an innovation-led model, and take feasible steps to overcome challenges blocking the way forward.
One of the biggest roadblocks ahead is the lack of human resources required in the age of technology. More Thai workers in STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) fields are needed and investment in building these specialised skills is crucial.
This salary guide is a reflection of the domestic forces at work, affecting local industries, jobs, and salary ranges. Thailand’s talent market will continue to shift as it moves toward developing its 4.0 roadmap. We trust that you will find this guide an effective benchmarking tool and aid you in strategic decision making in a pivotal year for Thailand.

Thailand has emerged
strong in 2017, achieving
its projected economic
growth at 3.9% per cent
on the year.
Expansion was backed by two main drivers: exports and tourism. Both areas have seen greater external demands from major markets, including the US, EU, China and Japan. The Tourism Ministry reported a 16 per cent jump in number of visitors in December to an unprecedented 3.5 million from a year earlier.
The country saw key events that may provide more stability to Southeast Asia’s second largest economy. The conclusion of the one-year of mourning for H.M. King Bhumibol Adulyadej in October marked a new beginning, economically, and socially. The ruling government also announced a tentative democratic election in November 2018, spurring new hopes forthe year.

BANKiNG & FiNANCE
As Southeast Asia’s second biggest economy, thailand has a robust banking sector that has a combined value of approximately tHB2.2 trillion (uSD$65 billion), making up 14 per cent of the Stock Exchange of thailand index’s total stock market value. its financial institutions delivers on a wide range of much needed financial services to consumers and businesses.
rising defaults impeded lending in 2016, leading to moderate growth. in 2017, despite the nation reporting fastest economic growth rate since 2012, leading banks reported a decline in earnings. the combined net profit at thailand’s biggest banks dropped 14 per cent on the year from July-September period. Much of it was caused by non-performing loans, which increased 8.6 per cent on the year and 14.5 per cent year-to-date in the same period.
According to industry observers, this will cause banks to be more cautious in granting loans and pay more attention to provisioning. New accounting rules due to be implemented in 2019 under the standards of iFrS 9 will likely intensify that stance. However, the thai government’s recent acceleration of several
major infrastructure projects may help increase demand for new loans, renewing investor confidence and leading to lower bad-debt ratio in the upcoming year.
thailand’s digital push saw a rise in Fintech activities in 2017. PromptPay was launched early in the year, making payments via mobile phones at reduced rates a reality. the Bank of thailand and the Monetary Authority of Singapore signed a Fintech Cooperation Agreement, allowing the two country regulators to refer Fintech companies to their counterparts. Four banks now run accelerators, corporate venture capitals, and new subsidiary companies. with the total value of venture capital reaching $86.02 million in 2016, more Fintech development is on the horizon.
to become a regional banking hub, thailand will have to push through more reforms and further liberalise several areas to compete with the region’s existing financial hubs in Hong Kong and Singapore. with implementation of thailand 4.0, the country’s roadmap to a new economic pillars, the government has encouraged banks to alter their roles, and support financial services development through lens of innovation.

with thailand showing greater commitment to digitise its economy, company strategy on talent acquisition will undergo a paradigm shift, making Hr professionals more crucial in the future. An innovation-led nation will require more skilled workers, which thailand is lacking. the National Statistical Bureau reported in 2016 that 374,934 were working in information and Communications technology and approximately 45.6 per cent of those graduated in the information & Communications technology field.
Hr professionals will address new challenges internally in their workplace as organisations begin to consider disruptive technology for their human capital needs. Deloitte’s research revealed dramatic shifts in prioritisations of business leaders, with over half redesigning their Hr program to utilise digital and mobile tools and a third already ahead with artificial intelligence applications to deliver Hr solutions. this new wave of change may be more prominent in digitally first world countries but organisations in thailand are most likely looking to follow suit with the government moving ahead with its thailand 4.0 plan.
thailand will face many ever-accelerating digital hurdles on the horizon, with the most glaring being a diminishing workforce, shortage of skilled workers, and changing attitudes towards
professional loyalty. the aging population and lack of English and it literate workers challenge Hr professionals to work harder in their search to fulfill requisitions with the right talent. Employee loyalty on the decline in younger generations will require new creative retention strategies. Employment sectors in thailand have rated a digital Hr, talent acquisition, and leadership and careers and learning as top priorities in 2017, reflecting an awareness of what lies ahead.
the thai government is also privy to the situation and has begun to implement short and middle term solutions. the SMArt visa was newly introduced to attract talent abroad and is issued to foreigners working or investing in technology-based production activities and services and in 10 targeted industries. the Ministry of Labour is in the midst of working through its 20-year National Strategy Human resources Framework that aims to better equip the workforce with skills needed for success in a digital economy.
Hr professionals are key in supporting their organisations on both the search and training of workers with potential in this new talent landscape. the Hr function is going through a drastic identity shift and will have to become a strategic partner in defining the talent structure of the organisation and the mobility within.

Globally, the fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) market grew by just 1.3 per cent between March 2016 and March 2017. thailand’s FMCG sector was also hit hard in 2016. the growth rate of 1.7 per cent in consumer-product sales, the lowest in 10 years, was a result of several factors. High levels of household debt and a severe drought impacting on the agricultural sector both played a role in weighing on consumer spending. the passing of H.M. King Bhumibol Adulyadej in October had a major effect on the thai population, contributing to weak consumer confidence.
2017 showed signs of improvement, with market research firm data predicting increase in sales in the food-preparation, household-product, and personal-care categories. with rising export demands, the government reported 4.3 per cent GDP growth year-on-year in the September quarter 2017, the highest in four years. Consumer confidence index matched the trajectory by jumping from 78.0 in November to 79.2 in December.
the thai government’s emphasis on digitisation of the economy via its thailand 4.0 plan will also bolster the FMCG sector. E-commerce has become a major driver in consumer goods sales growth, accounting for a record 36 per cent of global FMCG growth and outpacing offline retail growth. thailand’s online grocery sector has seen a value growth of 104 per cent. this is further supported by thai consumers shift towards online shopping. Many retailers know this and are aiming for long-term returns by heavy investment in digitising their organisations to better serve online consumers.
Plenty of opportunities lie ahead for the FMCG sector in thailand. the country will continue to be a strategic country for consumer goods companies due to its geographical location as a hub for the Asean Economic Community and projected number of middle-class consumers reaching 50 million by 2020. the aging demographic will force many organisations to re-evaluate their local approaches and match evolving retail behaviors.

the thai petrochemical sector has an annual output of 30 million tons, placing it 2nd in Southeast Asia and 16th overall globally. the discovery of natural gas in the Gulf of thailand in the 1970s and 1980s jumpstarted the chemical and petrochemical industry in thailand, leading to development of the eastern seaboard. Natural gas is the country’s primary feedstock today.
in 2016, demand for petrochemicals increased by 3.8 per cent, a result of improved world economy. Global petrochemical production capacity grew by 3.6 per cent, pointing to reduction in problems of oversupply in the market. research predicts that the global petrochemical market will reach $791 billion in 2018 and will see an average compound annual growth rate of 6.7 per cent between 2012 and 2018.
thai petrochemicals benefited from a well performing economy, improvements in
exports, increasing government expenditure, and expanding domestic consumption in 2017.
Forecast demand for petrochemicals is at 3-5 per cent pa over the next two years. increasing population in developing countries and demand for plastics will help bolster the sector.
in the middle and long term, thailand will face two challenges in the industry. Self-dependent policies in major export markets such as China, vietnam, and indonesia will see each expanding their petrochemical production base and reducing imports from thailand. the natural gas supply from the gulf is finite and will be exhausted, possibly leading to a need to import and diminishing producers’ margins. thai producers will need to look to domestic biomass inputs such as cassava or sugarcane to produce bio-plastics as a future solution.

thailand is one of the world’s manufacturing powerhouses. Supported by its well-developed infrastructure in terms of power, water, communication, transportation and logistics, the nation is often seen as the manufacturing hub of Southeast Asia. in 2016, thailand was ranked 14th in Deloitte’s global manufacturing competitiveness index.
Primary exports of the country can be divided into two main groups. Agricultural goods include rice, rubber, cassava and sugar while more high-tech industry products that compete internationally encompass both automobiles and electronic hard discs. thailand ranked 6th amongst the world’s top commercial vehicle producing countries in 2016, with the automotive industry contributing to 12 per cent of the country’s GDP.
From 1993 until 2017, the manufacturing industry has averaged at tHB498.16 billion. the sector contributed significantly to thailand’s economy in 2017, reaching an all time high of tHB710.97 billion in the third quarter. increase in demands from major markets helped exports to grow in terms of price and quantity, particularly
in the key industrial products in electronics and electrical appliances categories.
while the manufacturing economy ended on a high in 2017, employment and input inventories continued to fall. Observers noted that despite the upturn in production, organisations preferred to rely on existing labour resources with signs of spare capacity indicated by backlogs, which indicated restraint amid economic growth. However, this may change in 2018 as business confidence improves and firms increase purchasing in anticipation of expanding workloads.
in the middle to long term, the manufacturing industry landscape will evolve. the thai government intends to pursue a strategy of differentiation with its thailand 4.0 push and heavy infrastructural investments in projects such as the East Economic Corridor. research has noted that 50 per cent of thai manufacturers are considering the adoption of automation systems within 1-3 years, signaling greater opportunities for the country’s robotics and automation industry.

the thai government has done much in the past few years to push the country forward to become a medical hub. A strategic 10-year plan was launched in 2016 to support their goals. Progressive policies have been put in place for their “thailand, a Hub of wellness and Medical Services” vision. Healthcare industry spending of the government accounts for 14 per cent of the country’s budget.
the thai pharmaceutical market is considered the second largest and one of the most developed in Southeast Asia. the country stands as a major player in the larger region, with thailand ranked as 8th largest market in Asia Pacific region in 2016. the sector was valued at tHB161 billion in the same year, increasing from tHB152.9 billion in 2015. research forecast reports the market is expected to double by 2020.
Key factors that have driven growth in thai pharmaceutical include a rapidly aging population and expansion of thailand’s universal healthcare system, in particular universal Coverage Scheme which has brought over
99 per cent of the population under its umbrella. Both will increase domestic consumption of medicines going forward.
to increase competitiveness within the industry, the thai government passed the Government Procurement and Supplies Management Act in 2017. under this new act, state hospitals no longer need to purchase supplies from state manufacturer Government Pharmaceutical Organization, effectively leveling the playing field for private manufacturers. this is significant as the value of medicines accounted for by state hospitals reaches 60 per cent of the total market.
the pharmaceutical sector is expected to grow 5.4 per cent per year between 2017 and 2019. Exports will see growth as thai products becoming increasingly accepted due to strong efforts in meeting Pharmaceutical inspection Co-operation Scheme standards. However, foreign manufacturers using the country as a production base and exporting to the thailand’s major markets will increase competition for thai manufacturers.
