KResearch Warns Thai Firms on EU Carbon Tax
Published on 26/09/2025
» Bangkok, September 26, 2025 - The European Union (EU) is set to begin collecting a carbon tax under the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) early next year. It is expected that related impacts on Thai exports may increase by around Baht 28 billion within 2030. Thailand still awaits the implementation of mandatory domestic measures, but delays in legislation could place Thai businesses at a competitive disadvantage. Most Thai industries continue to emit greenhouse gases above the EU CBAM standards, exposing them to the risk of higher costs. The period from 2025 to 2030 will be a critical turning point, where businesses that begin reducing greenhouse gas emissions early will gain a competitive edge.
