Thailand aims to lead Southeast Asia’s electric vehicle manufacturing, targeting a $6.5 billion real estate market by 2030, driven by ambitious policies and significant foreign investments.
Thailand is set to become Southeast Asia’s leading electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing hub by 2030, with an anticipated $6.5 billion commercial real estate market according to JLL.
