Thailand's direct sales business is likely to remain flat this year, attributed to the pandemic.
Kittawat Ritteerawee, president of Thailand Direct Selling Association (TDSA) and managing director of Amway Thailand, said the overall direct sales industry is expected to stay at 70 billion baht, the same tally as 2019 when the industry grew by 2-3% from 2018.
"With the pandemic, we expect the direct sales business is likely to see flat growth during 2020 and 2021," he said.
Mr Kittawat said he believes the industry has passed its lowest point.
"Direct sales offer a good opportunity as a sideline job during the pandemic," he said.
