According to data from the first half of 2025, there were a total of 71 industrial estates located in Thailand’s Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), comprising 110,275 rai of developed land available for sale or lease. This represented 77.7% of the total industrial estate area nationwide, while the remaining 22.3% was situated in other provinces. At the provincial level, most industrial estates in the EEC are concentrated in Rayong, which has a total of 57,039 rai or 51.7% of the total available area in the region, followed by Chonburi with 43,181 rai (39.2%) and Chachoengsao with 10,055 rai (9.1%).The development of industrial estates in these three provinces remains a key focus area for investment and industrial expansion under Thailand’s national strategy for the Eastern Economic Corridor development. Over the past several years, the government has continued to accelerate infrastructure development across the EEC to strengthen its competitiveness and investment readiness. Major flagship projects include the U-Tapao International Airport and Eastern Aviation City, the Laem Chabang Port Phase III Expansion, and the Map Ta Phut Industrial Port Phase III Development. These projects are expected to substantially enhance the region’s logistics connectivity and support the establishment of high-value, next-generation industries—such as electric vehicles, smart electronics, and bio-based manufacturing—cementing the EEC’s role as a key driver of Thailand’s long-term industrial growth.
