6 FSA-listed Thai businesses · ★★★☆☆ average hygiene rating · 0.5% of UK total
Glasgow has 6 Thai food businesses serving a population of approximately 635,000. That's 0.9 Thai businesses per 100,000 residents — below the UK average of 2.1/100k. The market appears underserved — low supply relative to population, suggesting unmet demand. Note: Scotland's ratings use the FHIS scheme (Pass/Improvement Required) with no 0–5 scores, so they are not directly comparable with England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
67% of Thai food businesses in Glasgow are dine-in restaurants (6), while 33% are takeaways (3).
This split matters for market entry strategy: a takeaway-heavy market suggests delivery-first demand; restaurant-dominant markets suggest eat-in culture.
vs London: Glasgow has 2.2% of London's 273 Thai businesses, with 7.2% of London's population.
vs UK total: Glasgow's 6 Thai businesses are part of 1,241 across the UK.
