A Strong Year for Cambodia’s Bicycle Export Industry
During the first 10 months of 2025, Cambodia exported bicycles worth USD 502.85 million, up significantly from USD 340.55 million in 2024. This growth reflects rising global demand, improved supply-chain access, and the country’s expanding production capabilities in Bavet City, Svay Rieng Province.
The Ministry of Commerce highlighted that Cambodia’s five major bicycle assembly factories—operating inside the Bavet Special Economic Zone—have played a decisive role in this surge, contributing both capacity and competitiveness.
Key Export Markets Driving Growth
The United States, Germany, Belgium, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands remain Cambodia’s top bicycle export destinations. These mature and high-value markets rely on Cambodia for consistent supply, competitive pricing, and strong manufacturing standards.
On the import side, Cambodia sources bicycles primarily from Japan, China, Viet Nam, Thailand, and the United States, reflecting both domestic demand and component requirements for assembly.
EU Approval Boosts Production Efficiency
A major boost to the industry came when the European Union authorised Cambodia to use bicycle components and raw materials imported from Viet Nam for bicycles destined for EU markets. This decision dramatically improves production efficiency by shortening delivery times, stabilising supply chains, and reducing logistics costs.
For Cambodia’s manufacturers—located just across the border—this regulatory flexibility strengthens export competitiveness and ensures faster turnaround for international orders.

Why Cambodia Is Becoming a Global Bicycle Manufacturing Hub
Several factors continue to position Cambodia as a top-tier bicycle exporter:
- Strategic location near Viet Nam and Thailand, allowing fast cross-border supply chains.
- Investor-friendly SEZs offering tax incentives and production-ready infrastructure.
- Competitive labour costs enabling high-volume manufacturing at attractive price points.
- Regulatory support, especially approval from the European Union regarding component sourcing.
- Growing trust from global retailers who see Cambodia as a stable and efficient production base.
With these advantages, Cambodia is set to further expand its footprint in the global bicycle market in the years ahead.
Outlook: Strong Momentum Heading Into 2026
As international demand for bicycles remains high—driven by lifestyle trends, urban mobility needs, and environmental consciousness—Cambodia’s bicycle exports are expected to continue rising. More investment is also anticipated in the Bavet SEZ, which could introduce new factories, modernised equipment, and additional export capacity.
The sharp 47% growth recorded in 2025 demonstrates that Cambodia is not just competing globally—it is becoming a regional leader in sustainable manufacturing.
