Cambodia's exports see growth despite weakening global demand Despite a global demand slowdown and geopolitical challenges, Cambodia experienced stable export growth, reaching $1.97 billion in January 2024, a 27% increase compared to the same period in 2023. Penn Sovicheat, Secretary of State at the Ministry of Commerce, highlighted that Cambodia's international trade volume has grown steadily, even amidst the war crisis. He attributed the resilience to sustained high volumes of orders, particularly from Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) member countries. In addition, Cambodia's trade with the RCEP member countries amounted to $2.74 billion in January, representing a 21.2% increase from 2022. Under the economic partnership, as much as 90% of tariffs on goods traded between countries will be eliminated over the next 20 years. (Source: Phnom Penh Post)

Cambodia's tourism sees more guests from neighboring countries In January 2024, Cambodia experienced a 34% surge in international tourism, hosting 540,023 foreign visitors compared to the same period in 2023 - over half originated from neighboring countries Thailand, Vietnam, and Laos. Thailand led with 163,661 visitors (30.3%), followed by Vietnam with 85,700 (15.9%), and Laos with 36,153 (6.7%). The president of the Khmer Angkor Tourist Guide Association noted a continuous rise in visitors since October 2023, particularly to rising in visit to Angkor Wat. Despite a steady post-pandemic recovery, Chinese tourists remain modest. In 2019, Cambodia welcomes over 6.61 million foreign tourists, with ASEAN neighbors contributing 24.33% of the total. In 2023, the country received 5.45 million tourists, generating roughly $3.04 billion in tourism revenue, a substantial increase from $1.41 billion in 2022. (Source: Phnom Penh Post)

Cambodia's furniture and bedroom product exports surge over 60%  Cambodia witnessed a remarkable surge of over 60% in exports of furniture and bedroom products in January 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, as reported by the General Department of Customs and Excise (GDCE). The notable increase, categorized under Harmonised System (HS) Code 94, which includes furniture, bedding, mattresses, cushions, and similar stuffed furnishings, accounts for 3.05% of the country's total sales to international markets and amounted to $59.93 million in January 2024. Experts attribute this growth to rising international market demand, increased production capacity in Cambodia, and positive outcomes from direct investments, driven by favorable internal and external factors, including geographical location, investment laws, infrastructure, and trade agreements.

More Chinese tire manufacturers plan on Cambodian expansion China's Shouguang Firemax Tyre Co., Ltd., is planning to invest $190 million in a radial tire production facility in Cambodia. The new facility is anticipated to have an annual capacity of producing 8 million passenger car radial tires and 1.2 million truck and bus radial tires. This investment aligns with a broader trend of Chinese tire manufacturers exploring Cambodia as an alternative market due to trade barriers in Western markets. Other major Chinese tire firms, such as Wanli Tires and Sailun Group, are also eyeing significant investments in Cambodia to increase production and supply capacity. All three factories are expected to produce a total of 33 million tires and utilize 90% of Cambodia's total rubber tree yield annually. (Source: Khmer Times)
