Southeast Asia is one of the main markets for methamphetamine globally.

This is indicated by the numerous cases of methamphetamine trafficking uncovered in the region.

According to data from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), approximately 62,000 kilograms of methamphetamine were seized in East and Southeast Asia in 2022.

Five Southeast Asian countries accounted for the largest methamphetamine seizures: Myanmar, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines.

Only North America, primarily the United States and Mexico, recorded more methamphetamine seizures, as shown in the graph.

"North America, and East and Southeast Asia remain the largest markets, together accounting for 78% of global methamphetamine seizures," stated the UNODC in its report.

"While methamphetamine can be produced in many countries, large-scale production remains concentrated in several locations with weak rule of law, particularly in Myanmar and neighboring countries, as well as in Mexico," they added.
