Thailand's Manufacturing Production Index Grows by 2.05% in September 2026

According to a report from the Office of Industrial Economics (OIE) published by Thai Post, Thailand's Manufacturing Production Index (MPI) recorded a growth of 2.05% in September 2026. This expansion is largely attributed to the positive impact of the 'Thai-Help-Thai Plus' initiative, alongside significant momentum from the artificial intelligence (AI) and data center sectors. These industries are playing a crucial role in bolstering the nation's industrial output. Furthermore, the report highlights the continued growth of Thailand's pet food industry, which has successfully established itself as the world's second-largest exporter of pet food. For residents and business observers, this data suggests a strengthening industrial landscape supported by digital infrastructure investments. While the current figures indicate a positive trend, the long-term sustainability of this growth remains to be confirmed as global market conditions evolve. The OIE continues to monitor these sectors closely to assess their ongoing contribution to the national economy.
