Thai June factory output falls 3.1% y/y, weaker than forecast rise of 0.2%

Thailand's manufacturing production index (MPI) for June 2026 fell 3.1% year-on-year, significantly underperforming market expectations of a 0.2% increase. The data, released by the Ministry of Industry, indicates continued weakness in the country's industrial sector. For the first half of 2026 (January to June), the MPI declined by 0.4% compared to the same period last year. The June reading marks a sharp reversal from the modest growth anticipated by analysts, highlighting ongoing challenges for Thai manufacturers amid global economic headwinds and subdued domestic demand.
