The Trade Competition Commission of Thailand (“TCCT”) is moving forward with the development and revision of competition guidelines under the Trade Competition Act B.E. 2560 (2017), with a focus on three rapidly evolving sectors: digital platforms, modern wholesale and retail businesses, and on-demand delivery services.
The review covers multi-sided platforms and e-commerce businesses, credit-term practices involving small and medium-sized enterprises, and platform-based services such as ride-hailing and on-demand delivery.
A public consultation is now open from 31 July to 31 August 2026. Business operators, industry stakeholders, public and private sector agencies, and members of the public are invited to share their views on how the regulatory framework for these sectors should be developed or improved.
As part of the process, the TCCT is also holding a series of expert discussions on digital platform regulation, emerging competition concerns, and platform-based transport services. The feedback and recommendations gathered will help shape the TCCT’s future regulatory approach.
Businesses operating in these sectors should consider taking part in the consultation to ensure that practical industry concerns are reflected before the guidelines are finalised.
