Products to Import – Health and Beauty Products from Thailand
Southeast Asia has always been a great part of the world to import a product from, especiall in the sphere of textiles, furnishings, arts and crafts. The superior quality of Thai or Balinese handcrafted products has been well known all over the world. As the US economy slid into an economic meltdown, massive layoffs followed and consumer spending had plummeted , the global economy started to suffer the consequences. Falling demand for Asian goods in the US and the West created global downturn across the entire spectrum of developing nations. While countries like Cambodia, which depends mainly on garment exports, is experiencing nearly 10% slump in export sales, Vietnam’s economy on the other hand is expected to expand this year. Exports from countries such as China or Indonesia contracted some 25% this year, while exports from India fell over 30%.
Although dreadful economic downturns are nothing new to Southeast Asia, last major one of which in middle 90s literally crushed the value of Thai Bhatt and Indonesian Rupiah, there are also signs that this time the economies of mainly the ASEAN member nations, in particular Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines are more resilient, namely on account of having attracted substantial foreign investment over the last decade and particularly the last few years.
Thailand has had traditionally one of the strongest economies of Asia and although its overall exports, namely sales of tableware, kitchenware, ceramics, garments and textiles in general, leather products, footwear, canned goods as well as sea food fell overall some 25 % in the first quarter in 2009, Thailand’s health and beauty products continue to enjoy strong sales.
