Thailand motorcycle production forecast 2026 updated with higher output expectations
Thailand motorcycle production forecast 2026 has been revised upward as the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) increased the annual production estimate to 2.05 million units from the earlier projection of 2 million units. The revised outlook maintains export production expectations at 400,000 units while increasing domestic sales production from 1.6 million units to 1.65 million units, representing a 3.13% growth. The updated forecast reflects improving domestic market conditions and continued confidence in Thailand’s motorcycle manufacturing ecosystem.
The export production outlook remains stable because Thailand serves multiple global motorcycle markets across different regions. This diversified export base is expected to reduce the impact of current geopolitical uncertainties, while existing customer orders continue according to planned schedules. The Federation of Thai Industries noted that international demand remains consistent, supporting manufacturers in maintaining their export production plans throughout 2026.
Domestic motorcycle production expectations have improved due to several supporting factors, including the “Thai Chuay Thai Plus” economic stimulus program, rising fuel prices encouraging motorcycle usage, and new microfinance providers improving consumer access to credit. These developments are expected to support purchasing capability and strengthen domestic demand conditions for motorcycles in the coming period.
