Mr Jurin revealed that the air-conditioning and refrigeration as well as the electric and electronics industries are very significant to Thailand’s economy as these industries generate more than 640,000 of local jobs with average annual export incomes of over 2 trillion baht. In the first seven months of 2022, the export value of electric and electronics products reached 1.4 trillion baht (£33bn).
Thailand is currently one of the world’s most important production bases of electric and electronics products, ranked the second largest air-conditioner exporter and the sixth largest exporter of refrigerators, chillers and cooling systems. This is due to the fact that Thai manufacturers have strength in upstream to downstream production with innovation. This year, Bangkok RHVAC 2022 and Bangkok E&E 2022 has returned after three years under the concept of One Stop Solutions - New Innovations for New Global Challenges to show that the event features a complete range of products and it is successful with more than 100 exhibitors in 400 booths.
“It is expected that the event will attract over 5,000 local and overseas visitors with a target of more than 9,000 million baht for one-year purchasing order. However, the first three days have already generated over 8,500 million baht sales. There is also an Awards ceremony celebrating the best of RHVAC and E&E products and organised to develop and maintain leadership of Thai industries in the global market,” said the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Commerce.
