Thailand Textile Institute (THTI) operates independently and is governed by a committee composed of representatives from both the Thai government and private sectors.

This is achieved by placing particular emphasis on fostering innovation and enhancing connectivity within the textile sector to drive productivity and bolster competitiveness. To facilitate this transformation, the institution integrates all essential elements into a cohesive value chains network. Moreover, its endeavors are closely aligned with Thai’s national policies and strategies, as well as the prevailing global trends in the textile industry.

Thai Nonwoven Fabrics Industry Association (TNFA), founded in March, 2020, carries the mission of serving all Thai nonwoven companies.

Taking this advantage, TNFA helps its members trade equipment, products and services for domestic consumption as well as throughout the ASEAN and globally to service the disposable hygiene, medical, automotive, tissue paper and packaging sectors. The association will seek to work with other global nonwovens associations, companies, suppliers and distributors that produce equipment, and products, covering the full supply chain for nonwovens from raw material to finished product, to distribution.

Thailand – a nonwovens hub for expanding into the ASEAN markets
With strong endorsements from key Thai nonwovens entities, Thailand strategically positioned as a nonwovens hub, offers valuable opportunities for industry players in the ASEAN market.
Thailand’s excellent connectivity, world-class infrastructure, and Free Trade Agreements facilitate seamless logistics and trade. The region has over 640 million consumers, coupled with Thailand’s strong domestic market, driven by being Southeast Asia’s largest automotive producer, and its reputation as a global health security index ranking of 5th and Asia’s top destination for medical care and retirement, create significant demand for nonwovens.
Additionally, Thailand’s proximity to Malaysia, Vietnam, and Indonesia, with Malaysia manufacturing approximately one-third of the world’s semiconductors, Vietnam serving as the largest export market for nonwoven products from China in Southeast Asia valued at US$400 million, and Indonesia dominating the disposable hygiene products market with a value of US$6.5 billion in 2022 and a CAGR of 12.8%, enhances the expansion of the ASEAN nonwovens market.
By connecting the nonwovens market within ASEAN, Asia-Pacific, and beyond, Thailand offers abundant business opportunities in the ASEAN nonwovens industry. Join ANTEX Asia 2024 to benefit from valuable business networking, knowledge exchanges, and the exploration of cutting-edge nonwoven materials and technology.
