Thai Auto Sales Climb to Two-Year High on EV Demand

Thailand’s automobile sales rose to a two-year high in 2025 as exponential growth in electric vehicle purchases drove demand despite the backdrop of lackluster economic growth.

Vehicle sales in the Southeast Asian nation reached 621,166 units last year, up 8.5% from 2024, Surapong Paisitpattanapong, spokesperson of the automobile industry group at the Federation of Thai Industries, said in a briefing Wednesday. Electric vehicles accounted for 45% of the total, with sales of 276,697 units.
