The Thai economy has been driven by the export sector of which the manufacturing products have a large share in it. The textile sector is probably one of the most important manufacturing export products for three decades. Recently, a number of problems, external and domestic, have affected textile export growth seriously.This study aims to assess export performance of Thai textile products in the US and European Union markets during the period 1992-1997. The products to be examined are clothing and fabrics. The result of the study reveals that the textile exports exhibit a decreasing trend over the period. The declining trend is the result of relatively higher competitiveness of the same products from other low-cost exporting countries. In addition, textile exports from Thailand have been confronting with protective measures such as the Multi Fibre Arrangement (MFA), rules and regulations governing freer flows of the trade among member countries of the NAFTA and the European Union, domestic bottlenecks such as government rules and regulations inadequate, infrastructure supports, and the outdated machines and manufacturing processes also contributed to the export decline. The study points to the need to reassess the various aspects in order to improve the textile sector. These cover an improvement of basic infrastructure, a new marketing system, an improvement in design and product quality, reduction of import tariff, and the quest for new export market. The government should have also put higher emphasis to promote research and development in this area and allocate a sufficient amount of budget to set up and operate a textile research centre. The study recommends in-depth study in the following areas, first, the textile products should be categorized into more brackets, the present study categorized them into three brackets, second, this study provides information on the export performance only but has not done in-depth study into factors contributing to the change. At last, the business strategies of Multinational Corporation and the influence of the products brands should be studied in the future.
