  • Abstract:

    Thailand is fast becoming a newly industrializing country and, consequently a large number of construction works are projected for the future. This study is an attempt to gain further insight into the demand for construction activities in Thailand. Three types of construction - residential, non-residential and ’other’ (mainly public project) - were considered. The demand function for each type of construction was estimated using regression analysis. Results indicate that rising per capital income, the ratio of consumer price index are the most significant factors affecting the demand for no-residential construction. The demand of other construction is found to be largely a function of rising revenues of government and of public utilities. Further, projection results indicate that total construction activities in Thailand appear to have a bright future: projected values range from an annual average of 230481 million baht to 310599 million Baht for the next 5 five years.
