Cambodia’s Trade With Global Partners Rises 18% in 2025

PHNOM PENH, Jan.08,2026 (KPT) — Cambodia’s trade with international partners reached $65.25 billion in 2025, an 18% increase from the previous year, reflecting the country’s ability to maintain key export markets, the Commerce Ministry said Thursday.

Data released by the ministry showed exports totaled $31.28 billion, up 17%, while imports reached $33.96 billion, up 18% from 2024.

Commerce Ministry spokesman Penn Sovicheat said the growth demonstrates Cambodia’s resilience in global value and supply chains, maintaining confidence among buyers and markets. Major exports included vehicle tires, spare parts, electrical components, furniture, garments, footwear and travel goods.

Key trading partners were China, ASEAN, the United States, the European Union, Japan, Canada, the United Kingdom, South Korea, Australia and India.

Commerce Minister Cham Nimul said the rise in exports was driven by government measures to diversify domestic trade, add value in supply chains, promote entrepreneurship and improve trade facilitation. She said Cambodia continues to integrate into regional and global economies despite uncertainty caused by geopolitical tensions, wars and border disputes with Thailand.

Nimul added that reforms remain focused on strengthening institutions, improving public services and ensuring sustainable development in the trade sector.
