Riding the Wave of Economic Momentum
Cambodia’s manufacturing sector is projected to grow by 8.6% in 2025, with industrial output rising 9.3% by 2026. While garments and footwear remain key pillars, emerging sectors such as electronics, food processing, and modular furniture are gaining momentum.
Ongoing government initiatives — including infrastructure upgrades, SME support, and digital transformation (5G, cloud, and smart manufacturing) — are strengthening Cambodia’s position as a rising regional industrial hub. Strategic policies like the Footwear and Bag Development Strategy 2022–2027 further signal its move up the value chain.
More than an Exhibition — A Catalyst for Industry Transformation
From August 6 to 8, a series of high-level professional seminars and panel discussions will bring together thought leaders, government officials, and industry experts to explore key topics shaping the future of Cambodia’s industrial sector. The sessions will cover crucial areas such as technological advancements, automation, and global supply chain integration, offering attendees actionable insights to overcome current challenges and embrace emerging opportunities.
Highlights include a panel discussion on “Industrial Sustainable Development in Cambodia” organized by the Ministry of Industry, Science, Technology & Innovation (MISTI), which will delve into strategies for green growth and long-term resilience. The Ministry of Commerce (MOC) will host a session on “Business and Investment Opportunities in Cambodia”, providing a comprehensive overview of the country’s investment climate and incentives. In addition, the Cambodia Chamber of Commerce (CCC) will lead a panel titled “Strengthening Cambodia’s Manufacturing Ecosystem: The Role of Advanced Machinery and Technology Transfer”, focusing on how industrial upgrading, innovation, and international collaboration can accelerate the development of Cambodia’s manufacturing sector. These curated sessions will serve as valuable forums for knowledge exchange, policy dialogue, and industry networking.
CTG & CIMIF 2025 are more than just a trade show — it’s a strategic platform that support Cambodia’s long-term vision of becoming an upper-middle-income country by 2030 and a high-income economy by 2050. By fostering international collaboration, showcasing innovation, and driving digital transformation, the exhibitions are set to play a pivotal role in reshaping the future of Cambodia’s industrial and textile sectors.
