Thailand import trend for epoxidized soybean oil showed a growth rate of 3.12% from 2023 to 2024, contrasting with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -14.59% from 2020 to 2024. This shift may be attributed to changing consumer preferences or adjustments in trade policies impacting market stability.

By 2027, the Epoxidized Soybean Oil market in Thailand is anticipated to reach a growth rate of 3.82%, as part of an increasingly competitive Asia region, where China remains at the forefront, supported by India, Japan, Australia and South Korea, driving innovations and market adoption across sectors.

The epoxidized soybean oil market in Thailand is a significant segment within the country`s chemical and industrial sectors. Epoxidized soybean oil (ESBO) is a renewable and biodegradable plasticizer widely used in various applications, including PVC formulations, coatings, and adhesives. With the growing demand for eco-friendly and sustainable alternatives to traditional plasticizers, the market for epoxidized soybean oil has witnessed steady growth in Thailand. The market includes both food-grade and industrial-grade ESBO, catering to different industry requirements.
Several drivers have contributed to the growth of the epoxidized soybean oil market in Thailand. Firstly, the increasing awareness about environmental sustainability and the need to reduce the reliance on petrochemical-based plasticizers have driven the adoption of epoxidized soybean oil as a green alternative. Secondly, the expanding use of PVC in various industries, such as construction and automotive, has increased the demand for epoxidized soybean oil as a plasticizer to enhance PVC properties. Additionally, the regulatory support for the use of bio-based and non-toxic plasticizers has further boosted the market growth.
Despite the positive market trends, the epoxidized soybean oil industry in Thailand faces certain challenges. One of the key challenges is the competition from other bio-based plasticizers and non-phthalate plasticizers, which can influence the demand for ESBO in specific applications. The diverse range of plasticizer options available can impact consumer choices. Moreover, ensuring the availability of high-quality and consistent ESBO products is essential for customer satisfaction and long-term usage. Additionally, fluctuations in soybean prices and supply chain disruptions can affect the cost and availability of epoxidized soybean oil.
The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic had an impact on the epoxidized soybean oil market in Thailand. With disruptions in industrial activities and changes in consumer behavior during lockdowns, there were challenges in the sales and distribution of ESBO, especially in non-essential sectors. However, as economic activities resumed and industries adapted to new safety protocols, the market for epoxidized soybean oil showed signs of recovery. The pandemic also highlighted the importance of sustainable and safe plasticizers in various applications.

Export potential enables firms to identify high-growth global markets with greater confidence by combining advanced trade intelligence with a structured quantitative methodology. The framework analyzes emerging demand trends and country-level import patterns while integrating macroeconomic and trade datasets such as GDP and population forecasts, bilateral import–export flows, tariff structures, elasticity differentials between developed and developing economies, geographic distance, and import demand projections. Using weighted trade values from 2020–2024 as the base period to project country-to-country export potential for 2030, these inputs are operationalized through calculated drivers such as gravity model parameters, tariff impact factors, and projected GDP per-capita growth. Through an analysis of hidden potentials, demand hotspots, and market conditions that are most favorable to success, this method enables firms to focus on target countries, maximize returns, and global expansion with data, backed by accuracy.
By factoring in the projected importer demand gap that is currently unmet and could be potential opportunity, it identifies the potential for the Exporter (Country) among 190 countries, against the general trade analysis, which identifies the biggest importer or exporter.
