Cambodia has emerged as a significant garment and footwear manufacturing destination, with the textile sector accounting for approximately 75% of the country's industrial exports. The industry employs over 700,000 workers, making it Cambodia's largest formal employment sector. Major brands including H&M, Gap, Levi's, and Puma source from Cambodian factories.
Manufacturing is concentrated around Phnom Penh and in Special Economic Zones in provinces like Svay Rieng and Kampong Speu. Cambodia benefits from the EU's "Everything But Arms" (EBA) trade preference, providing duty-free access to European markets, though this is contingent on governance and human rights conditions.
Quality in Cambodian factories has improved significantly as the industry matures. The Better Factories Cambodia (ILO) program has driven improvements in working conditions and factory standards since 2001. However, Cambodia's manufacturing sector remains less diversified than Vietnam or Thailand, and quality management systems in smaller factories may be less developed. Regular inspections are essential for verifying workmanship, measurements, and compliance with buyer specifications.
Cambodia benefits from EU EBA (Everything But Arms) duty-free access and US trade preferences. The ILO's Better Factories Cambodia program monitors labor standards. Products must comply with destination-market safety regulations. Cambodia is a member of ASEAN and benefits from RCEP (Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership). Social compliance audits are important given ongoing international scrutiny of labor conditions.
Khmer is the official language; English is spoken in larger export factories. Buddhist holidays and Khmer New Year (mid-April) affect production schedules. Water Festival (November) also causes factory closures. Cambodian workers are generally hardworking but may require more training supervision compared to more established manufacturing countries.
Cambodia primarily manufactures garments (t-shirts, trousers, jackets, uniforms), footwear, travel goods, and bicycles. The country is focused on cut-make-trim (CMT) garment production, with raw materials typically imported from China, Vietnam, or Thailand. Cambodia is gradually diversifying into higher-value products and accessories.
Inspection services in Cambodia cost $240 per man-day — all-inclusive with no hidden fees. Factory audits start at $440 per man-day. Most manufacturing is concentrated around Phnom Penh, making logistics straightforward. Contact Tetra Inspection for pricing specific to your inspection requirements.
Common quality challenges include workmanship inconsistencies, measurement accuracy, fabric defects (often related to imported raw materials), stitching quality, and packaging issues. The workforce is relatively less experienced than in established manufacturing countries, making regular quality inspections important for maintaining standards.
Yes, Cambodia benefits from the EU's EBA (Everything But Arms) scheme, providing duty-free and quota-free access for all products except arms. This makes Cambodia competitive for garment exports to Europe. However, the EU periodically reviews this preference based on governance and human rights conditions.
