Tirathai group forecasts that the local transformer demand will increase due to economic stimulated measures by government and covid-19 vaccine utilized in Thailand.

Since covid-19 epidemic crisis has started at the end of 2019 until 2020, it caused severe economic depression in worldwide including Thailand, global supply disruption, and temporary limitation in domestic and international transportation. These factors affected to the slow-down of transformer industry in government and private sectors, raw-material procurement, and transformer production process. Because, Tirathai group effectively adapt in management consistent with these situations, local transformer delivery amount in year 2020 increased from year 2019. Revenue from crane business and revenue from construction contract business in year 2020 slightly decreased from year 2019 because amount of private investment postponed due to economic depression and covid-19 epidemic.

Message

In year 2021, Tirathai group forecasts that the local transformer demand will increase due to economic stimulated measures by government and covid-19 vaccine utilized in Thailand. Moreover, infrastructure investment by government in year 2021 increased more than two hundred billion baht especially, Eastern Economic Corridor which attracts private sectors to invest over one hundred billion baht.
