Thailand Asbestos Mining Market has become one of the significant markets and is projected to attain prominent growth during the forecast period on the back of government support such as government policies and the efforts made by the key players in the market.
According to 6Wresearch, the Thailand Asbestos Mining Market size is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.2% from 2025-2031. One of the primary drivers of the asbestos mining market in Thailand is the country's abundant deposits of asbestos. Thailand has vast deposits of naturally occurring asbestos, such as tremolite and chrysotile, making it an attractive location for companies interested in mining asbestos. Additionally, the low cost of production due to the presence of skilled labour, an established supply chain, and favourable government policies add to the market's attractiveness.
Despite these growth factors, the asbestos mining market in Thailand faces numerous challenges. One of the major challenges is the health risks related to asbestos exposure. Asbestos fibres are recognized to cause diseases such as mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer, among others, making them deadly to humans. Also, the increasing awareness of these risks has prompted many countries, including Thailand, to enact strict laws and regulations against asbestos mining, use, and export. These challenges can limit the Thailand Asbestos Mining Market Growth.
Some prominent companies continue to operate in the Thai asbestos mining industry. One of the biggest players is the Italian-Thai Development Company Limited, which has been operational since the early 1980s. The company operates several mines across the country and is among the largest producers of asbestos in Thailand. Other notable companies in the market include the Siam Cement Group and the Eternit (Thailand) Company Limited.
The Thai government has taken several measures to reduce the risks associated with asbestos exposure. In 2019, Thailand enacted a ban on all forms of asbestos, making it illegal to import, produce, and use asbestos-containing products. This move was a significant step towards eliminating the risks associated with asbestos exposure. Additionally, the government is also pursuing strategies such as occupational health and safety regulations, asbestos management guidelines, asbestos awareness campaigns, and compensation for affected workers.
According to Kapil, Senior Research Analyst, 6Wresearch, the automobile industry is a major consumer of asbestos, with the mineral being primarily used in brake pads and linings. Asbestos makes a useful material for these purposes given its high resistance to wear and heat. However, the use of asbestos in brake linings has led to health concerns given that asbestos dust poses a health risk when inhaled.
