Thailand’s digital economy is projected to grow 17% YoY to reach $35 billion in 2022, driven by e-commerce
The past few years have shown Southeast Asia’s incredible resilience, as people and businesses have come online – often for the first time – to find new ways of accomplishing what would previously have to be done in person. In 2022, we’ve seen that resilience again, with global economic headwinds rising just as the region began to emerge from the pandemic.
Despite the challenges, Southeast Asia’s digital economy continues to show its dynamism and strength. It’s expected to reach 20% growth in gross merchandise value (GMV) this year, heading towards US$200 billion in value. Encouragingly, as the latest e-Conomy SEA 2022 report confirms, the region is on track to hit that milestone three years earlier than we expected in our inaugural report in 2016.
For Thailand, the digital economy is projected to grow by 17% to reach $35 billion in GMV in 2022, up from $30 billion in 2021, despite headwinds. This GMV is expected to reach $53 billion in 2025 on a 15% compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) and projected to double to approximately $100-$165 billion in 2030. E-commerce is a major driver of Thailand’s digital economy, accounting for 63% of the overall digital economy in 2022. The sector is expected to grow 8% year-over-year to $22 billion in GMV this year. Thailand’s e-commerce GMV is also the second largest in Southeast Asia after Indonesia, while e-commerce adoption in Thailand is the second highest among Southeast Asia at 94%, after Singapore.
Food delivery returns back to trendline growth after tripling through the pandemic and is expected to hit 11% growth to $2.7 billion in GMV, while transport sector is expecting a strong recovery and is projected to grow 36% to hit $300 million in GMV this year. GMV growth of online media (video-on-demand, music-on-demand, gaming) tapers to 10% to reach $5 billion after the peak period triggered by the pandemic. Online travel is expecting a strong recovery, as mobility exceeds pre-pandemic levels. The sector grew 139% from 2021 to reach $5 billion in GMV. However, recovery is expected to be gradual and take years to reach 2019 levels.
Digital Financial Services (DFS) saw double-digit growth in 2022 across all sectors - payments, remittance, lending, investment, insurance. This is due to enduring offline to online behavior shifts post-pandemic. Momentum to 2025 will be led by lending and investments at approximately 40% and 45% CAGR growth, respectively.
Digital financial services (DFS) account for the highest share of total investor funding in Thailand, with ~$150 million raised in H1 2022 alone. DFS has overtaken e-commerce as the top investment sector, taking nearly half of all funding in Thailand as well as across Southeast Asia.
