Thailand’s automotive industry recorded robust growth in September 2025, with overall car production rising by 14% from the previous month and nearly 5% year-on-year, reflecting strong momentum in the country’s transition toward cleaner and more advanced vehicle technologies. The expansion was largely driven by surging demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and pickup passenger vehicles (PPVs), supported by new model launches and increasing consumer confidence in sustainable mobility.
Domestic sales also showed healthy progress, climbing nearly 24% compared to the same month last year, fueled by the growing popularity and affordability of EVs. Exports of finished vehicles rose over 20% from August and 7% from a year earlier, with solid demand from markets in Australia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. These results demonstrate Thailand’s continued strength as a regional automotive hub and its adaptability to evolving global trends in vehicle electrification and innovation.
EV adoption continues to surge nationwide, with Battery Electric Vehicle registrations up 80% year-on-year, Hybrid EVs up 24%, and Plug-in Hybrids doubling from last year. With more than 330,000 EVs now on Thai roads, the sector’s outlook remains bright. Despite economic headwinds affecting pickup truck sales, the industry’s steady production growth, rising exports, and record-breaking EV registrations signal a promising and sustainable future for Thailand’s automotive sector.
