Industrial Estate Market


Executive Summary
The year 2010 heralded the biggest increase in supply of Serviced Industrial Land Plots (SILPs)
for thirteen years reflecting the underlying long term confidence in the manufacturing sector
despite ongoing political unrest over the past four years.

The Eastern Seaboard is the dominant player in the industrial estate market with around 63% of
total supply of land in SILPs.

into five main zones in Thailand. These are as follows.
Central Area – Another key industrial area due to its proximity to
Bangkok.
Eastern Seaboard area – This represents the industrial powerhouse due
to its location surrounding the main container port in Thailand, Laem

Manufacturing exports minus gold

The export of gold is included in manufacturing export


figures. Gold has little industrial use and is more a
store of value and an investment. During periods of
turbulence and loss of confidence in the financial
system gold is seen as being a better store of value
compared with that of fiat currency not backed up by
precious metals. This is especially the case recently
with quantative easing occurring in a number of
countries, especially the United States. At these times
trading in gold usually increases but is no real
indicator of manufacturing as none is performed.
Therefore the figures given have the numbers for gold
exports taken out as it can have a large effect on the
statistics and unlike trade in general can fluctuate
wildly month to month.
