The Thai Auto Parts Manufacturers Association (TAPMA) has officially announced the inaugural Future Mobility Thailand 2025, set to take place under the theme "Driving Tomorrow: Innovating for a Sustainable and Connected Future." The event serves as a platform to showcase Thailand’s auto parts manufacturing capabilities while fostering international partnerships to advance Thailand as a hub for future mobility and automotive technology.
Supported by the Thailand Board of Investment (BOI), Future Mobility Thailand 2025 will be held from 3–5 April 2025 at the Bangkok International Trade & Exhibition Centre (BITEC), Bangna. This B2B exhibition will convene auto parts manufacturers, EV technology developers, supply chain service providers, leading research institutions, and global investors to exchange insights and explore business opportunities.
Driving Thailand’s Future in Mobility
According to Mr. Suphot Sukphisarn, Deputy Secretary-General of TAPMA, the event marks a pivotal moment for Thailand’s auto parts industry as it embraces emerging technologies, including electric vehicles (EVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs and PHEVs), autonomous vehicles, and connected vehicle technologies.
"Thailand’s auto parts industry is well-prepared for this transformation, with a strong supply chain and the ability to adapt to new technological trends. This event presents a vital opportunity to expand into new markets, engage with global partners, and strengthen Thailand’s position as a key player in the future automotive industry," he stated.
Currently, Thailand is ASEAN’s largest automotive and auto parts manufacturing base and ranks among the top 10 globally, with an annual production capacity of over 1.9 million vehicles. By 2024, automotive and auto parts exports are projected to contribute 12% of Thailand’s GDP, with an export value exceeding 1.02 trillion baht.

Thailand’s Growing Role in the EV Revolution
Thailand is rapidly emerging as ASEAN’s leading EV market, driven by increased adoption and Chinese automakers establishing production bases. Sales of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in Thailand are expected to surpass 100,000 units in 2024, led by brands such as BYD, NETA, and GWM. By 2030, EVs are projected to account for 30% of Thailand’s total vehicle production.
The "Japan First" policy by the Thai government also aims to attract high-tech automotive investments, spanning internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, EVs, and hybrids. This strategy encourages domestic production and strengthens Thailand’s innovation ecosystem for the automotive sector.
Supporting SMEs in the Future Mobility Era
According to Ms. Siraphan On-Aht, Vice President of TAPMA’s SMEs & Cluster Development Department, Thai SMEs must adapt to the EV and smart mobility revolution.
"Thai SMEs face challenges in transitioning to EV production and intelligent mobility systems. Future Mobility Thailand 2025 will provide insights into market trends, manufacturing technologies, and global business opportunities. The event will also facilitate business matching sessions, allowing Thai SMEs to connect with international automakers and technology providers to expand their reach," she stated.
To support SMEs, TAPMA, in collaboration with the Federation of Thai Industries, is implementing policies to integrate Thai manufacturers into modern automotive supply chains. This includes:
- Promoting local content requirements
