The development direction of the Thai automotive industry aligns with the future demand for automobiles in the global market. Currently, the focus is on vehicles with advanced technology and increased environmental friendliness. As seen in the European Union countries, there is continuous emphasis on environmentally friendly vehicles, especially in terms of controlling emissions. This is demonstrated by the implementation of policies to restrict the use of gasoline-powered personal vehicles in certain cities, starting in 2019, with the potential for expansion in the future. This will affect the decision-making process for purchasing new cars. In addition, the rapid growth of electric vehicle usage in Europe could be another factor that impacts the export of Thai vehicles and parts in the future. Based on the industry trends and environmental factors mentioned, it is evident that now may be the time for business operators, especially SMEs in the automotive and parts sectors, to focus on and monitor these industry trends. This will allow them to effectively adapt to the changes that will occur in the near future as well as in the next few years.
