Lucky Flame frets over possible influx of foreign-made cookers
Bangkok Post
|April 30, 2025
Lucky Flame Co Ltd, a Thai manufacturer and distributor of gas cookers and pressure regulators, is calling on the government to implement mandatory Thai Industrial Standard (TIS) certification on all foreign gas cookers sold in Thailand.
The company expressed concern that the global trade war could increase the number of goods being imported into the country, including gas cookers.
Chaolert Leelaswatanakoon, deputy managing director of Lucky Flame, said the Thai gas cooker market was worth 3.5 billion baht in 2024, recording only marginal growth.
The company does not expect market growth this year due to challenges in the real estate sector and the over-all economy.
However, Lucky Flame sees potential in the midto high-end markets, as consumers in these segments still have purchasing power.
However, he warned the trade war could heighten risks for Thai manufacturers.
"Chinese gas cookers have been dumped in the Thai market for years," said Mr Chaolert.
