Thailand’s Investment Pipeline Supports Demand for Skilled Workers

Thailand’s Board of Investment reported that investment-promotion applications reached THB 1.47 trillion in the first half of 2026, up 37% year on year. Digital industries accounted for approximately THB 1.12 trillion, while electronics and electrical appliances attracted THB 120.23 billion, reinforcing demand for specialist technical and engineering skills. Recruitment firms, training providers and employers can explore opportunities in technical recruitment, workforce planning and skills development. HPC can support workforce analytics, digital training platforms and performance reporting; the investment applications are planned projects, not confirmed HR-service contracts.
