< Back APAC SwedCham Webinar: After the Storm: Sourcing Trends in China and Southeast Asia, 15 November 2023 On 15 November, SweCham and ARC Consulting hosted a webinar with Marcus Sohlberg, Business Development Director at ARC Consulting, on the topic Sourcing Trends in China and Southeast Asia and how they develop over time. Trade values are rising in first half of 2023, though being lower than 2021-2022. Global factors affecting trade include geopolitical tensions, economic weakness, trade restrictions, industrial output slowdown, inflation, and high interest rates. The top three Southeast Asian sourcing countries are: Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia. Although China's reopened borders have a negative impact on the other sourcing countries, Thailand's automotive, agriculture, and food sourcing sectors are thriving, while for Malaysia there is increased sourcing in electronics and batteries for EVs. Currently, relocating sourcing from China has decreased, possibly due to prior relocations. However Southeast Asia sees a positive trend, with companies inclined to keep or relocate sourcing and manufacturing to the region. The top three risk factors companies see in China are: increasing costs, unstable supplier performance, and increased tariffs. Meanwhile, in Southeast Asia, the concerns include increasing costs, unstable supplier performance, and a lack of supply skills. The reasons for relocation include cost savings, risk mitigation, and improved logistics. Interestingly, supply chains currently face disruptions due to new ESG policies, but also the EU Carbon Border Tax, Carbon Peak and Neutrality, and EU Supply Chain Act. In reflection of this, an issue has emerged where many companies are assessing suppliers' carbon footprint data, meanwhile lacking proper data collection. In summary, there is a growing confidence in Southeast Asia and Europe for sourcing, but China remains the top choice. We would like to thank Marcus Sohlberg for sharing his valuable insights on sourcing within China and Southeast Asia with us! Previous Next

FYSIK started back in 2015 in Bangkok, Thailand, as a passion project between husband-and-wife duo, Henrik- a personal trainer with a love for design and craftsmanship, teamed up with Amm- who brought years of experience from the steel industry. < Back We were thrilled to welcome the newest start-up member in bespoke gym equipment to our community, Fysik! 9 May 2025 FYSIK started back in 2015 in Bangkok, Thailand, as a passion project between husband-and-wife duo, Henrik- a personal trainer with a love for design and craftsmanship, teamed up with Amm- who brought years of experience from the steel industry. The idea first came about while they were setting up their own personal training studio. They didn’t want the usual bulky, intimidating machines. Instead, they imagined gym pieces that felt more like sculptural furniture—something you’d be proud to have in your home. What began as a small idea quickly grew. Today, FYSIK is known around the world for its handcrafted equipment that blends clean Scandinavian design with the warmth and skill of Thai craftsmanship. You’ll find FYSIK pieces in luxury homes, five-star hotels, boutique gyms—and even on Hollywood film sets. A very warm welcome to the representative of Fysik, Khun Henrik Olofsson (Co-Founder) and Khun Amm Tarasansombut (Co-Founder). Their unique combination of Scandinavian design sensibility and Thai craftsmanship perfectly reflects the Thai-Swedish identity that our chamber embodies. We are incredibly excited to have them in our community and eagerly anticipate the exciting collaborations that will undoubtedly emerge between Fysik and the broader SweCham network, fostering innovation and strengthening the ties within.

Perspectives of Stakeholders: Thailand’s Strategies for Coping with Current and Future Floods and Droughts < Back SweCham team attended the launch of the World Bank Thailand Economic Monitor 5 Jul 2023 Perspectives of Stakeholders: Thailand’s Strategies for Coping with Current and Future Floods and Droughts Last Wednesday, 28 June 2023, the SweCham team attended the launch of the World Bank Thailand Economic Monitor ‘Building a Sustainable Future: Coping with Floods and Droughts’ at the Faculty of Engineering, Chulalongkorn University. Professor Dr. Supot Teachavorasinskun, the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering at Chulalongkorn University, and Dr. Fabrizio Zarcone, the World Bank Country Manager for Thailand, jointly delivered an opening statement during the inaugural session of the seminar. This was followed by keynote speeches, presentations and panel discussions by several experts in the area. Thailand experiences recurring floods and droughts each year, which are becoming increasingly severe, particularly in Bangkok, due to overpopulation and geographical factors. This seminar focused on the government’s master plan for water management. Representatives from the World Bank highlighted the escalating water stress in Thailand over the past year. The difficulties in dealing with floods and droughts, particularly in Bangkok, remain unchanged since the affected areas are privately owned. Unfortunately, the solutions available only offer temporary relief. However, private companies in the eastern part of Thailand, such as Amata Water and Indorama Ventures, have actively embraced sustainability and made a commitment to take responsibility for their actions. Ultimately, every speaker emphasised the importance of collaboration from all sectors in Thailand. Without cross-sectoral partnerships, the country will not progress, and the issues will persist. It was an honour for our team to be part of this informative and provocative seminar. We are thrilled to share this important message with our members and aspire to create a meaningful impact within our community. To read full report ‘Thailand Economic Monitor.

We invited attendees to discover firsthand how Swedish design can elevate their daily lives. Furthermore, this collaborative campaign between SweCham, our valued members, and friends served as a dynamic platform to strengthen the bonds between Swedish businesses and the Thai public.
