The Thailand Franchise & Business Opportunities show takes place on October 20-23 2022 at BITEC, Bangkok, Thailand.

Thailand’s 18th international franchise, licensing, and business opportunities show will take place on October 20 – 23, 2022, at BITEC, Bangkok. Recognized as the biggest and best franchise exhibition in Thailand, it is an excellent platform for franchise brand owners and investors from Thailand, ASEAN and international markets. The event provides unprecedented access to business within the ASEAN region. It brings business owners, and potential investors face to face. The expo has seen consistent and growing support from local and international associations, media partners and industry bodies. The popularity of the franchise business model in Thailand continues to thrive in 2022 and looks promising for 2023. Today, Thailand is the home to almost 140 international franchise brands from around the world, with nearly 20,000 outlets.

The franchise industry is poised to grow at 20% annually, which further enhances its growth potential. Presently international franchises control 60% of the total market, of which restaurants, QSRs and casual dining have the largest market share, followed closely by F&B franchises, with the education service franchises coming third. Thailand’s recent extensive infrastructure push and its geostrategic position as the heart of the ASEAN free trade bloc are seeing the country take a highly competitive global role for franchise investment into the South Asian region.

The event, organized by Kavin Intertrade Co. Ltd., has the Franchise & License Association (FLA), World Franchise Association, and Association of Chain and Franchise Promotion as supporting associations. Last year, over 13000 visitors attended the 17th edition of the Thailand Franchise and Business Opportunities show while this year in March saw over 5500 visitors. This year the 18th edition of TFBO will see over 150 exhibitors, attracting approximately 7000 visitors and investors from about 40+ countries worldwide.
