Rethinking growth and diversification in Thailand

Thailand, already a manufacturing hub, will continue attracting multinationals within ASEAN. Businesses are expected to rethink their strategies, revising investment plans, exploring new models, and diversifying supply chains to minimize risks. Meanwhile, emerging Southeast Asian countries hold significant growth potential, driving steel demand due to infrastructure and property developments.
