Thailand Smart Cities Market Synopsis

Thailand smart cities market has witnessed substantial growth, primarily attributed to advancements within the ASEAN Smart Cities Network (ASCN). In 2018, Bangkok, Chonburi, and Phuket were designated as pilot smart cities within the ASCN, making significant contributions to Thailand's smart city development. However, in 2020, the market registered a slow growth owing to the COVID-19 outbreak due to which government-imposed restrictions and lockdowns halted many smart city projects. However, in 2021, the market grew at a decent rate as the Smart City Development Subcommittee certified 15 smart city projects, indicating progress in Thailand's smart city development initiatives.
According to this research, Thailand Smart Cities Market size is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 13.2% during 2023-2029. The Thailand smart cities market is poised for substantial growth, driven by increased investments and strategic initiatives. The Thai government plans to develop 100 smart cities across 77 provinces by 2040, as the urban population is expected to reach 72% of the total population by 2050, up from 50% in 2021. This plan is supported by significant national policies like the "Smart City Development Plan" and "Thailand 4.0." Additionally, the Eastern Economic Corridor in Thailand has secured investments totalling 6.43 billion USD, representing 56% of the total investment value in Thailand. These concerted efforts and investments are expected to propel the smart city market in Thailand in the upcoming years.

• Thailand faces the risk of data breaches in both the public and private sectors, which are hindering the growth of smart city development. Moreover, challenges such as organizational silos, and tensions between central and local authorities, still hinder progress in the smart city market, although e-procurement reforms aim to enhance transparency and quality, pointing to a promising trajectory for the smart city market in Thailand in the coming years.
