"This project demonstrates Thailand’s attractiveness as a hub for the manufacturing of smart electrical appliances and smart electronics by important global companies," said Mr. Narit Therdsteerasukdi, Secretary General of the BOI. "This factory will sell around 85% of its output in overseas markets, meaning it will increase Thai exports by an estimated 32 billion baht every year." The factory, to be located in Thailand’s Chonburi Province, will employ 3,250 people and have a production capacity of approximately 3 million units of smart air conditioners, and 3 million units of smart split air conditioners, the BOI said. Smart air conditioners feature embedded operating systems and electronic components that can detect and receive information and can be remotely controlled via mobile phones. The investment, which includes the cost of land and working capital, is made through Haier’s Singapore unit. From January 2023 to June 2024, the BOI has approved smart electronics manufacturing projects worth a combined 82.2 billion baht, by companies including Samsung, Midea, Inventec, and Sony. During the same 18-month period, an additional 16.4 billion baht worth of projects were approved for the manufacturing of other types of electrical appliances and parts.

During January to June 2024, investments from China was Thailand’s second source of FDI in terms of value, after Singapore, with 321 projects applications worth a combined 72.9 billion baht, led by investments in the automotive industry, and the appliance and electronics sector.
