The health and beauty sector expects robust growth of at least 20% to a value of more than 200 billion baht this year, led by a positive outlook for herbal products, says Deputy Commerce Minister Siriwat Kachornprasart.
He said becoming a regional health and beauty hub would mean more revenue for the country. The export outlook for the sector is also good.
