Despite the slowdown in the economy of the People's Republic of China, EXIM Thailand highlights its continued expansion surpassing other major global markets. With a significant population ranking second worldwide and possessing relatively high purchasing power, the potential Thai products in the Chinese market range from food items like chicken, shrimp, squid, canned fruits, and seasonings, to daily essentials like cosmetics, travel accessories, and instruments and equipment such as audio devices and medical instruments. Additionally, numerous market prospects persist for products catering to the preferences of modern Chinese consumers. These encompass items such as cosmetics, vitamins, beauty-enhancing products targeting the SHEconomy (driven by empowered female consumers), along with dietary supplements, electric carts, and household items that fulfill the needs of the Silver Economy (focused on the elderly). In this context, EXIM Thailand stands prepared to "fill up gaps of knowledge, opportunities, and capital" to support Thai entrepreneurs in initiating or expanding their exports to foreign markets confidently and sustainably toward the Chinese market.
