The forecast for green coffee bean imports in Thailand shows a gradual upward trend from 2024 to 2028. The import volumes are expected to increase from 1.01 million units (bags of 60 kg) in 2024 to 1.04 million units in 2028. This represents a yearly progression in value from 1.01 to 1.02 million units in 2025 and 2026, followed by incremental rises to 1.03 million units in 2027 and 1.04 million units in 2028. The increase from 2024 to 2025 and from 2025 to 2026 represents an approximate value year-on-year increase of 1-1.5%, similar to the growth seen from 2026 to 2027 and 2027 to 2028. Compared to values up to 2023, these figures reflect steady albeit modest growth considering the data for the previous years.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from global economic conditions, fluctuations in coffee prices, and changes in consumer behavior trends in Thailand. Factors such as the rise of specialty coffee shops, health and wellness trends, and government regulations on imports could significantly influence future green coffee bean import volumes.
