ABOUT THE FAIR
SUBCON Thailand is an annual international trade fair dedicated exclusively to industrial subcontracting and contract manufacturing, open only to trade professionals. Since its inception in 2006, it has grown into one of the most important business matchmaking platforms in the ASEAN region's industrial sector. With a clear focus on quality and innovation, it brings together manufacturers, buyers, and suppliers from around the world under the banner of “The Global Sourcing Excellence.”
The event is held at the state-of-the-art Bangkok International Trade & Exhibition Centre (BITEC), a well-connected venue located in the eastern part of Thailand’s capital. Renowned for its logistical efficiency, modern infrastructure, and international reach, BITEC is considered one of Southeast Asia’s leading exhibition centers. Its professional on-site management provides ideal conditions for a high-performance platform like SUBCON Thailand.
The trade fair is organized through a strong collaboration between the Thailand Board of Investment (BOI), Informa Markets Thailand—an internationally leading organizer of trade events—and the Thai Subcontracting Promotion Association, which represents the interests of Thailand’s subcontracting industry. This partnership ensures that both international standards and the specific demands of the local market are met.
SUBCON Thailand covers a broad range of sectors, including the automotive and electronics industries, medical technology, energy production, and industrial automation. Special emphasis is placed on emerging key industries—known as the New S-Curve sectors—such as aerospace, rail transport, defense technology, and advanced manufacturing. Exhibitors showcase innovative materials, high-precision components, cutting-edge technologies, and specialized manufacturing services.
A standout feature of the event is its professional business-matching program, which facilitates targeted meetings between international buyers and exhibitors, creating direct, qualified business opportunities. The fair is further enriched by expert seminars and workshops that promote knowledge-sharing and professional development across the manufacturing sector—highlighting the event’s high technical standards.
More than just a trade show, SUBCON Thailand serves as a strategically important platform for industrial cooperation, innovation, and investment. It actively contributes to strengthening Thailand’s manufacturing sector while offering companies from around the world direct access to the dynamically growing Southeast Asian market.
The SUBCON Thailand takes place annually, and therefore for the 14th time previsibly in May 2027 in Bangkok.
