Bangkok – The Thai Auto Parts Manufacturers Association (TAPMA) is organising the inaugural Future Mobility Thailand 2025 with the theme ‘Driving Tomorrow: Innovating for a Sustainable and Connected Future’. This event showcases the capabilities of Thailand’s auto parts manufacturers while connecting the Thai automotive industry with international partners to drive Thailand towards becoming a hub for future mobility and automotive technology.
Supported by the Thailand Board of Investment (BOI), Future Mobility Thailand 2025 would be held from April 3 to April 5, 2025, at the Bangkok International Trade & Exhibition Centre (BITEC), Bangna. This B2B exhibition is expected to bring together auto parts manufacturers, electric vehicle (EV) technology developers, supply chain service providers, leading national research institutions and investors from the global automotive industry to exchange ideas and explore business opportunities.
Suphot Sukphisarn, Deputy Secretary General of TAPMA, states that Future Mobility Thailand 2025 marks a significant milestone 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, boasting a strong supply chain and manufacturers with the ability to adapt to new technological trends. This event presents a vital opportunity to expand into new markets, connect with global partners and position Thailand as a key player in the future automotive industry."
Currently, Thailand is the largest automotive and auto parts manufacturing base in Asean and ranks among the top 10 in the world, with an annual production capacity of more than 1.9 million vehicles. By 2024, automotive and auto parts exports are expected to contribute 12 per cent of Thailand’s GDP, with an export value exceeding 1.02 trillion baht.
Several ‘must-visit’ zones within Future Mobility Thailand 2025 are:
•E-Parts & Mobility Revolution Zone – Showcasing EV auto parts and cutting-edge mobility technologies that would shape the future of sustainable transportation.
•ADAS & Entertainment Systems Zone – Featuring advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and in-car entertainment solutions.
•BGC Green Product & Alternative Energy Zone – Presenting eco-friendly automotive products and alternative energy sources aimed at reducing carbon emissions.
•Performance Parts, Accessories, Maintenance & Car Care Zone – Showcasing high-performance automotive accessories, maintenance solutions and advanced car care technologies that enhance vehicle efficiency and lifespan.
•Parts Transform Zone – Demonstrating the diversification of the auto parts industry into other sectors, such as medical equipment, aerospace, railway systems and agriculture.
This event is seen as a crucial opportunity for Thai auto parts manufacturers to strengthen their global presence as Thailand is already an essential global auto parts production hub with more than 1,800 manufacturers capable of developing technologies aligned with future industry trends.
Thailand’s auto parts supply chain includes 1,686 manufacturers, comprising 476 Tier 1 suppliers and above 1,210 Tier 2-3 suppliers. The country has a fully integrated supply chain, from raw materials to manufacturing and exports, and serves as a production base for more than 30 leading global automotive brands.
Thailand is also well-positioned to become the leading EV market in Asean, driven by rapid EV adoption, particularly with Chinese automakers setting up production bases in this country.
In 2024, the sales of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in Thailand are expected to surpass 100,000 units, with Chinese automakers such as BYD, NETA and GWM leading the market. By 2030, EVs are projected to account for 30 per cent of Thailand’s total vehicle production.
