Telecommunications industry in Thailand - statistics & facts

The state of Thai telecommunication industry

The telecommunications industry can be divided into several categories such as fixed-line and fixed-broadband communication, mobile communication, and internet-based communication. In Thailand, wireless communication dominates the market and has shown substantial market growth for wireless communication devices in recent years. As a result, fixed-line subscriptions in Thailand have declined, reflecting in a decreasing revenue of fixed-line telephone numbers in recent quarters.

Mobile communication and network in Thailand

A major contributor to the dominance of wireless connectivity in Thailand is the growth of the mobile communication market. The number of mobile subscribers has been steadily developing throughout the past years, with some slight fluctuations. Additionally, the introduction of 5G in 2020 shows the promise of further expanding the mobile market while also being designated as one of the major drives by the government to revitalize the economy after the effects of the recent pandemic.
