Export of Goods Value from Cambodia (1990-2023)

Cambodia's export value has grown remarkably over the years, transitioning from $86 million in 1990 to an impressive $23.47 billion in 2023. This exponential increase reflects Cambodia's evolution into a manufacturing hub, particularly for garments and footwear, which became significant export drivers in the 1990s. The liberalization of trade policies and Cambodia's accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2004 further facilitated its integration into global markets, leading to consistent export growth in the following years.

A notable spike occurred post-2010, as exports surged from $5.1 billion to $19.3 billion in 2021, driven by diversification into electronics and agricultural products. Despite a temporary decline during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, export activities rebounded quickly, showcasing resilience and adaptability. The increase to $22.5 billion in 2022 highlights the robust demand for Cambodian exports across developed and regional markets. This long-term growth underscores Cambodia’s strategic focus on enhancing infrastructure and export-oriented industries.
