FX.co ★ Thailand’s Import Growth Cools Sharply in July, Easing From June Surge

Thailand’s import growth slowed significantly in July 2026, with the year-over-year rate easing to 35.50%, down from a robust 48.90% in June 2026, according to data updated on 31 August 2026.

Both figures represent year-on-year comparisons: the June reading compares imports in June 2026 with June 2025, while the July figure compares July 2026 with July 2025. The sharp deceleration suggests that the earlier surge in import demand seen in June has moderated, though growth remains strong on an annual basis.

The latest data point will be closely watched as an indicator of Thailand’s external demand and domestic consumption trends, with the July cooldown potentially signaling a shift from the rapid import expansion recorded at the start of the summer period.
