Industry leaders warn that global headwinds, domestic challenges and shifting trade dynamics are converging to create a difficult environment. In steel, TSTH is focusing on high value-added products, including cut-and-blend services in wire rod, to create more value for customers. The trends of green energy, clean tech and digital solutions present opportunities for a restructured Thai industry, said Mr Kriengkrai. Target industries for restructuring include automotive, electronics, medical devices, food, bio-based products, and textiles, he noted. Mr Kriengkrai insisted Thailand embrace the green economy to secure long-term competitiveness.
