Construction materials industry in Thailand - statistics & facts
As an upstream industry, construction materials follow a similar trend to construction investment, with building materials accounting for more than half of construction’s value. Thailand’s most common construction materials are structural materials, such as cement and steel, and ornamental materials, including ceramic tiles and sanitary wares. Together, they accounted for nearly half of the total construction material sales in the country. The majority of Thailand's construction material production is for domestic use. However, construction material manufacturers saw an opportunity in the overseas market, with most of Thailand’s construction material export markets being countries in the ASEAN region.
