Exports from the Royal Group Phnom Penh Special Economic Zone (RGPPSEZ) rose by 14.09% in 2025, reflecting strong industrial output and growing regional demand. The total value of goods manufactured and shipped from the zone reached over $2.14 billion, contributing approximately 7% of Cambodia’s total export earnings and highlighting the zone’s importance to the national economy.
The growth comes as the zone continues to expand its facilities, improve infrastructure, and strengthen integration with regional and global supply chains. Over the past five years, exports from the 91 manufacturers operating within the zone have more than tripled, demonstrating steady growth and increased production capacity.
RGPPSEZ hosts a diverse range of manufacturing activities, including electronics, automotive parts, garments, footwear, and other light industries. The zone employed more than 55,000 workers by the end of 2025, supporting local employment and skills development. Despite global economic uncertainties, the performance of the zone contributed to Cambodia’s merchandise exports surpassing $31 billion in 2025.
The zone’s growth underscores the role of special economic zones in attracting foreign investment and boosting manufacturing competitiveness. Investors benefit from streamlined logistics, tax incentives, and access to international markets, which continue to support Cambodia’s evolving industrial landscape.
Looking ahead, Royal Group Phnom Penh SEZ plans to expand into other provinces, aiming to further strengthen export capabilities, foster economic growth, and create additional employment opportunities across the country.
