By Dr. Kobkrit Viriyayudhakorn, CEO & Founder, iApp Technology
As we approach the final months of 2025, the technology landscape is accelerating at an unprecedented pace. For Thai businesses, 2026 will mark a critical inflection point - the year when emerging technologies transition from experimental pilots to mission-critical infrastructure. The decisions companies make today will determine whether they lead, follow, or get left behind in the next wave of digital transformation.
Based on current market trends, technology trajectories, and conversations with hundreds of Thai enterprises, I've identified seven transformative technology shifts that will define 2026. These aren't speculative forecasts - they're observable trends already gaining momentum that will reach mainstream adoption within the next 12-18 months.
For Thai companies navigating Thailand's 2.6 trillion baht AI opportunity and the government's ambitious digitalization agenda, understanding and preparing for these shifts isn't optional - it's existential.
