Industry competitive analysis

Project:

Mid-stream textile & Steel industry sectors, Thailand

Services:

Identified the competitive aspects of the mid-stream textile and steel sector to develop an industry restructuring plan to define possible government intervention.

Output:

Specific aspects of the mid-stream textile performed poorly and the steel sector suffered from long products over-capacity, given tax concessions and subsidies to encourage investment to improve its overall competitiveness. The steel sector had to be restructured to reduce capacity and government support was offered.

Outcome:

A programme including tax concessions, subsidies and retraining was considered by the government to encourage investment in the mid-stream textile to improve its overall competitiveness and to restructure the steel sector.
