Thailand's exports, particularly textiles, garments, sports shoes and leather goods, are expected to gain this year thanks to the World Cup in South Africa.
 According to Wallop Witanakorn, secretary-general of the Thai Garment Manufacturers Association (TGMA), the World Cup will definitely give exports of Thailand a shot in the arm, especially garments and sportswear. Purchase orders for sportswear are now coming in to finish and deliver them to the buyers by March before the World Cup starts in June. The football mania would help lift Thailand's garment shipments in 2010 to grow in a range of 10% to 15% to US$3.5 billion. Textile exports were also projected to resume growth of 10% in 2010, according to the association's forecast.

According to Mr. Wallop, the key markets would remain the United States (40% of shipments), the European Union (28%), Asean (15%) and Japan (6-7%), while other markets would make up the rest. Shipments to Asean were expected to see remarkable growth in 2010 thanks to tariff elimination under the Asean Free Trade Area Agreement that took effect on Jan 1.
Japan will also offer a promising market, as Japanese importers are now buying from Asean instead of China to get higher-quality products and benefit from tax privileges, especially under the Japan-Thailand Economic Partnership Agreement (JTEPA).
The free trade agreement between Asean and China, which also took effect on Jan 1, will also improve Thai garment exports.
