Thailand’s digital economy forecast to grow 4.2% in 2026, twice the pace of national GDP

Thailand’s digital economy is projected to grow 4.2% in 2026 — double national GDP growth — driven by tech investment, AI adoption, and data centre expansion.

The National Board of Digital Economy and Society (BDE) forecasts that Thailand’s digital economy (Digital GDP) will expand by 4.2% in 2026, slowing slightly from the 5.0% growth expected in 2025 but still growing twice as fast as the overall economy, which the Ministry of Finance projects to expand by only 2.0%. The digital economy is expected to reach a value of 5.6 trillion baht next year.
