# Thailand’s Growth Outlook Improves on AI Boost but Still Trails Regional Peers

> Economists raised Thailand’s 2026 growth forecasts by around 0.2–0.3 percentage points after manufacturing data showed a larger contribution from AI-related industries. Revised estimates still leave Thailand growing more slowly than major Southeast Asian peers, while high household debt and weak consumer demand continue to weigh on the broader economy.

## Why it matters

Stronger manufacturing and AI-related investment could support industrial demand, but the report describes no direct change to feed or agricultural commodity supply or demand. Persistent weak consumer demand limits the broader demand signal.
