The import of packing containers, including record sleeves, to Thailand is expected to show a steady increase from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the volume stood at 1.326 million kilograms. The forecasted data projects an increase to 1.3528 million kilograms in 2024, reflecting a small uptick in imports. Year-on-year variations indicate a consistent growth pattern: 2025 forecasts show a 2.15% increase, 2026 a 2.07% rise, 2027 a 1.99% increase, and 2028 a 1.90% growth.

Future trends to watch for include potential changes in global trade policies, which could impact import volumes, and technological advancements in sustainable packaging, which might influence the types of packing containers imported. Additionally, fluctuations in consumer demand for physical media like records could also affect import levels.
