Bilateral trade between Cambodia and the United States reached a record high in 2025, surpassing $13 billion — a 29 per cent increase compared to 2024. This surge highlights Cambodia’s growing prominence in global trade and the strengthening of its export-oriented industries.
The growth has been largely driven by Cambodian exports, which rose to approximately $12.73 billion. Key export products include garments, footwear, bicycles, and travel goods, cementing the United States as Cambodia’s largest export market. At the same time, imports from the U.S. to Cambodia also increased sharply, reaching over $417 million, a jump of nearly 58 per cent from the previous year.
Analysts attribute this robust trade expansion to strong global demand, rising foreign investment, and government initiatives to diversify trade markets. Efforts to improve logistics, enhance compliance, and boost production capacity have strengthened Cambodia’s position in international markets.
This trade milestone not only supports Cambodia’s industrial and manufacturing sectors but also contributes to broader economic growth. Policymakers are now focusing on value-added production, supply chain improvements, and investment facilitation to maintain sustainable growth in trade with major partners like the United States.
As 2026 begins, both countries are expected to explore further opportunities to deepen commercial ties, reduce trade barriers, and promote investment in priority sectors. The steady growth of Cambodia–US trade underscores the Kingdom’s rising role in the global trade ecosystem.
