offset policy in order to enhance its domestic defense capabilities,
it accepts indirect offsets as an eligible activity. Furthermore, the
nation allows counter-purchase, according to which foreign
suppliers can buy non-defense related goods such as fruits and
rice in exchange for defense equipment.

6. Brief SummaryBrief Summary
Reports Cornerwww.reportscorner.com
Additionally, a lack of multipliers within Thailand's offset policy
fails to encourage foreign OEMs to provide technology transfers
or jointly develop defense equipment with the country.
Consequently, foreign suppliers are not incentivized to invest into
the Thai defense sector and, as a result, the domestic defense
sector is unable to gain access to military related technology.
With the country failing to attract investors into its defense sector,
the Thai military industry is unable to be part of the global supply
chain for multinational defense companies.The Thai government
fulfills most of its defense needs by importing military equipment
from foreign countries such as Ukraine, Russia, Germany, France,
and Spain. The overall exports of the country during the period
2008-2012 were negligible, resulting in poor inflow of foreign
investment. During the forecast period, defense exports are
expected to remain low as a result of less joint development and
collaboration programs, and low levels of defense

7. Brief SummaryBrief Summary

exports are expected to remain the key challenge for the Thai
defense industry. The Thai defense budget, which stands at
US$6.1 billion for 2013, is lower than most of its neighbors - the
Philippines is one of the few countries with a lower defense
budget - and this relatively small defense budget size frequently
deters investors from venturing into the country. Moreover, the
Thai government has also made offsets mandatory for all defense
procurements exceeding US$10.5 million. In an attempt to
encourage domestic defense development, the Thai government
awards additional significance to direct offsets; however, due to
the lack of sufficient investment and a shortage of skilled Thai
labor, foreign OEMs are unable to transfer sophisticated
technology to domestic defense companies. The combination of
the factors outlined above reduces the attractiveness of the Thai
defense industry for foreign OEMs.Key HighlightsThailand hosts

Conferencing and Networking event biennially. The event began in
2003 and provides a platform to manufacturers across the world
to showcase their defense equipment. During 2012, the event
attracted 250 individual exhibitors from 250 countries such as
Germany, the US, Czech Republic, France, Korea, Israel,
Singapore, Belarus, Russia, Poland, and Thailand. With the
country embarking on a defense modernization plan, foreign
OEMs have an opportunity to enter the fast-growing Thai defense
market. The Thai government finalized deals catering to force
restructuring, military education, package procurement, and
research and development during the defense exhibition in March
2012, providing foreign OEMs with a good opportunity to enter the
Thai defense market.During 2008-2012, Aircraft dominated
Thailand's defense imports with a share of 436.6% of total
imports.

Armored vehicles, missiles, and ships are other major segments
in which the country imported defense equipment during this
period, accounting for 19.1%, 15.2%, and 11.5% respectively. Over
the period 2013-2017, the country is expected to import
helicopters, armored vehicles, and frigates to counter southern
insurgency and strengthen its navy.
