Introduction
Cloud adoption continues to gather pace in Thailand, fuelling the nation’s digital economy. Large enterprises are leading the shift, driven by competition, regional expansion goals, and digitalisation pressures.
Thailand’s Digital Transformation Landscape
National Push for Digitalisation
Thailand’s transformation is anchored by long-term strategies such as the 20-Year Digital Economy Masterplan and the Thailand 4.0 policy, accelerating Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing. These initiatives are rapidly increasing the share of the digital economy in Thailand’s GDP, reinforcing its role in shaping sustainable growth.
BOI’s Support for Tech Transformation
The Board of Investment (BOI) drives adoption by offering tax incentives for IT and digital investments, particularly in sectors adopting Industry 4.0 technologies. Its programmes actively encourage businesses to integrate cloud, AI, and automation, strengthening competitiveness across industries.
Market Trends & Statistics
The momentum is visible in numbers. Cloud adoption rates among Thai enterprises continue to rise, with enterprise IT and digital solution spending projected to expand in 2025. Surveys show that a significant share of large enterprises are prioritising cloud migration as a top investment focus. Thailand’s IT expenditure is predicted to hit almost 996 billion THB (approximately US$29 billion) by 2025. This includes a projected growth of nearly 17% in data centre spending and 16.1% in software, underscoring a greater financial commitment to cloud and digital infrastructure1.
