The Market for Alternative Investment (mai) saw a 20.1 percent year-on-year increase in total sales, reaching THB 214.69 billion (approx. USD 6.22 billion) in 2022. Operating profits also rose by 1.8 percent year-on-year, amounting to THB 12.56 billion. However, this growth was driven by increases in the cost of goods sold, as well as selling and administrative expenses.
Despite this, the Agro & Food Industry, Property & Construction, and Technology sectors performed well and showed solid earnings.

In 2022, mai-listed companies recorded total sales of THB 214.69 million, which is a 20.1 percent increase from the previous year. However, costs of goods sold also increased by 22.9 percent, reaching THB 166.88 billion. As a result, their gross profit margin narrowed to 22.3 percent from 24.0 percent a year earlier. Meanwhile, operating profits increased by 1.8 percent.
