Job Opportunities / Market Demand / Market Trends
Currently, a key industry that continues to show high growth potential is the textile industry. In 2005, there was significant growth despite concerns regarding the World Trade Organization (WTO) regulations that would liberalize textiles in 2005, which could hinder Thai operators' competitiveness in the global market. In 2004, the export value of Thai textile and garment products exceeded 200 billion baht, and in 2005, Thai textiles in the fabric category exported to China grew by over 80%. China has increased its imports of fabrics from Thailand to produce bed linens for the US market, indicating that textile manufacturing plants will continue to require a significant number of workers in this field.
