The amazing opportunity for Thai noodle accessories and the Chinese market:

Thailand's apparel and textile industry is showing steady growth. The Thai market has invested more energy in developing products with high added value, especially environmentally friendly products. The above products account for about 10% of Thailand's textile and apparel exports. In 2010, Thailand’s clothing and textile exports reached US$3.21 billion, an increase of 8.27% compared to the same period last year. From the category of export products, clothing exports ranked first, up to 88 million US dollars; followed by non-woven fabrics and yarns, its exports reached 78.9 million US dollars; synthetic fibers and staple fibers ranked Ranked third, the total export value was 23.6 million US dollars; in addition, the export value of home textiles reached 11.6 million US dollars, and the export value of embroidery and mesh fabrics was 4.6 million US dollars each. The United States has always been the largest export market for Thai clothing. In 2010, Thailand’s clothing exports to the United States reached US$1.26 billion, an increase of 7.26% compared with the same period last year. The EU (export value of 1 billion US dollars) and Japan (export value of 253 million US dollars) ranked second and third, compared with the same period last year, Thailand's clothing exports to the two regions have risen respectively 4.69% and 11.73%.

According to a report issued by Adsale Publishing Ltd., Thailand’s clothing exports to the ASEAN region amounted to US$118 million, a year-on-year increase of up to 34.51%. At the same time, the Thai apparel and textile market has high technical requirements for printing machinery, as well as related printing and graphic arts workshops.

According to news released by the Ministry of Commerce, Thailand’s garment and textile industry’s imports of printing machinery in 2010 were approximately US$895 million, a 29% increase from 2009. Thailand mainly imports the above printing machinery from Japan, followed by China, Singapore, Germany, Malaysia, Indonesia, Ireland, the United States, and Taiwan. Currently, the labor gap in the Thai apparel and textile industry is 30,000, and the gap will reach 100,000 in the future. According to data released by Fibre2Fashion News Desk (India), of the 700,000 apparel and textile industry employees, only nearly 450,000 are officially employed by apparel companies. This also means that the industry needs more workers who can work in local clothing and textile production companies for a long time. 

In 2008, the Thai government allocated nearly US$72.7 billion to the apparel and textile industry to purchase related machinery and technology. Thailand Textile Institute (THTI) said that Thailand still needs to spend US$145.5 million in capital
