Based on the data provided, the forecast for the import of parts and accessories for optical microscopes to Thailand indicates a slight but consistent decrease. In 2023, the import volume was 9.26 thousand kilograms. For 2024, it is projected to be 9.24 thousand kilograms, marking a 0.22% decrease from the previous year. The forecast continues to show a downward trend with a 0.22% to 0.22% year-on-year decline, resulting in an import volume of 9.16 thousand kilograms by 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecasted five-year period is approximately -0.22%, highlighting a gradual decrease in import volume.

Future trends to watch for:

Technological advancements in microscopy which could affect import volumes if newer, more efficient models are developed locally.
Changes in trade policies or tariffs that could influence the cost-effectiveness of importing these parts and accessories.
The development of related industries within Thailand might also impact future import needs.
