In a fast-evolving retail landscape, this Bangkok Business PR News report highlights how SPC aims to meet the surging demand for health-focused and fashion-forward products. This collaboration aligns with rising consumer trends in wellness and active lifestyles, which continue to dominate post-pandemic market behavior. Ms. Chailada Tantivejkul, Deputy Managing Director of SPC, emphasized that this venture not only extends SPC’s reach but also diversifies its product portfolio beyond traditional FMCGs, making it a prominent player in the lifestyle and sports segment.
Tapping Into Provincial Power
Through this new partnership, SPC has been officially appointed as a distributor of Adidas footwear and sports equipment in Thailand’s provincial markets. This allows the global brand to tap into previously underpenetrated regions where SPC already holds strong retail and logistics infrastructure—from traditional mom-and-pop shops to modern trade channels.
The strategic move is poised to bridge the gap between urban and rural markets, making high-quality international sports gear more accessible to Thai consumers in smaller towns and cities. It reinforces SPC’s transformation strategy—from distributing everyday essentials to offering aspirational lifestyle products, thereby capitalizing on a broader consumer base eager for global fashion and fitness trends.

Revenue Projections and Market Momentum
With the Thai sportswear and lifestyle segment witnessing significant growth, the partnership is expected to drive substantial revenue. Sales from Adidas products through SPC’s channels are projected to rise by at least 60 million baht annually starting in 2025. The synergy is likely to stimulate further expansion into other lifestyle-focused categories and brand partnerships in the near future.
As sportswear continues to gain traction beyond Bangkok and into Thailand’s secondary cities and provincial centers, SPC’s logistics backbone gives Adidas a unique advantage in saturating these markets more efficiently than ever before.
This move reflects a broader industry shift as leading distributors pivot from merely moving goods to curating aspirational lifestyles. For SPC, the Adidas partnership isn’t just about shoes—it’s about stepping into a new era of consumer engagement across the Kingdom.
