Diving Into a Brisk and Bustling Market Sector
ASEAN – A region with boundless opportunitiesASEAN is expected to become the fourth largest single market by 2030. With a combined population greater than the EU, ASEAN’s 600 million residents and its growing middle-class create a dynamic market with abundant opportunities for industry traders.
THAILAND – In the Heart of AsiaGeographically located in Southeast Asia, Thailand is one of the region’s strongest markets. Thailand boasts a world class infrastructure, making it an ideal hub for connecting businesses in the fast-growing ASEAN Economic Community (AEC). Companies looking to expand into multiple markets will find Thailand an ideal base of operations, with most markets a mere three-hours flight away.
ECONOMY – Second largest in ASEANThailand is a hotspot for global tourism. A constant flux of tourists ensures that there is a constant demand for imported food and beverages. Exposure to healthier food options and a wide variety of cuisines also means that there is market for higher-value fresh and processed products.

We are the world’s largest producer of farmed salmon,
and we see an increased interest from Thai importers and
Norwegian exporters into Asia. There is a lot of positivity on the show, from all
10 Norwegian companies, as there were a lot of trade visitors from all over the regions. We
see this as an opportunity to promote Salmon, and to teach the young and upcoming chefs on the benefits
of Salmon and how to use them, and eventually to promote to the consumers. All the companies
are discussing ways to improve next year’s participation. This is a good way to reach out,
not just to Thailand but other regional markets. fdh
