WRI’s assessment

Thailand's Logistics Growth Index eased to 50.6 in October 2026 from a revised 51.1 in September, remaining below its three-month average of 51.4. The moderation was led by a lower Business Volume Index reading, followed by lower Warehousing and Employment Index readings.

“Thailand’s logistics activity grew more slowly in October, and business sentiment fell further. Factories raised output and won more orders, but their workforces shrank, often through resignations.”
