Thailand's food and beverage industry is large and growing, with a market value anticipated to reach USD5.4m by 2027.[1] Factors driving growth include higher incomes, recovering tourism and a shift towards healthier food options.
The Thai beverage market is a significant contributor to the overall sector, expected to grow from USD4.4 billion in 2022 to USD6.7 billion by 2025.[2] Thailand is the world's largest exporter of other prepared meat with USD3.1 billion in exports in 2022.[3]
Kerry has been present in Thailand since 2002. Through consumer insight-driven innovation and a wide portfolio of science-backed technologies, Kerry has played an instrumental role in delivering taste and nutrition solutions across sectors including beverages, meats, and food service, and establishing itself as a strong solutions partner through its globally connected, locally led teams.
In addition to the Co-Creation Centre, Kerry operates a manufacturing site in Bangpoo, Thailand. This Center of Excellence for meat technology supports customers in Southeast Asia as well as Japan and the United Kingdom, demonstrating rigor to food quality and safety to meet export needs.
