The future of light: smart, sustainable, human-centric

THLF 2018 – a gateway to the ASEAN market

Thailand is not only an important economy in Asia, it is also a crucial member country in ASEAN. It plays a key role in importing lighting products, fixtures, light bulbs, components and accessories among the ASEAN countries.

Thailand Lighting Fair 2018 (THLF) is part of the Light + Building series. Together with the geographical advantage, this show is the optimal platform for you to step into the ASEAN market.

The burgeoning ASEAN market

The ten ASEAN member countries have already signed bilateral agreements with China allowing a low-tariff or tariff-free status for LED products. ASEAN is also well on the way to becoming the world’s fourth largest market economy after the EU, US and China.

Business opportunities along the “Belt and Road”

Located in the heart of ASEAN, Thailand is in an ideal location to be the centre of ASEAN logistics, trade and finance. Naturally, it is also a bridge between ASEAN and China. Equally, Thailand is an important gateway for the Chinese supply chain to enter ASEAN and the Greater Mekong Subregion. THLF 2018 provides a platform for the lighting industry to expand into new market segments along the Belt and Road initiative led by China.
