Frequency
Annual
Release
Published annually, referring to a specific date in the year.
What it is
Measures the number of inhabitants of Thailand and how it changes over time. It is published by the National Statistical Office (NSO) and is a structural indicator that underpins many economic and social ratios, such as GDP per capita, density and per-head rates.
How it's calculated
Derived from population censuses together with civil registers and migration statistics, which are used to update the figure between censuses. It is usually reported as a headcount at an annual reference date.
Market implications
Demographic trends shape potential growth, the labour market and consumption. In Thailand, rapid ageing and a low birth rate are shrinking the working-age population and weighing on long-term growth.
Limitations
It is a low-frequency series: inter-census figures are estimates subject to revision once new censuses or better migration statistics become available, and do not always fully capture regional labour migration.
