Cambodia coastal provinces are emerging as dynamic manufacturing hubs, each with unique strengths. Preah Sihanouk Province anchors the region with factories across 21 divisions, focusing on food processing, garments and textiles and wood products, while advancing towards digital industrial integration.Koh Kong contributes with production in food and beverages, automotive and electronic parts, and non-metallic minerals. Kampot Province supports this growth with 9 divisions, led by food and beverage, garment, rubber-related and mining sectors. Together, these provinces reflect Cambodia's competitive positioning in both traditional and high-value manufacturing, supported by strategic coastal access and evolving infrastructure to attract regional and global investment.

Strengths: Favorable investment regime, relatively low labor costs and the initial development stage of industrialization in Cambodia had led to the formation of several industrial clusters among the coastal provinces.

Opportunities: The import of machinery and raw materials can be facilitated by leveraging RCEP and other agreements as well as through executing potential bonded policies from Cambodia. The FTAs to which Cambodia is part, including the RCEP, CCFTA, CKFTA and Cambodia-UAE CEPA frameworks, offer Cambodia an expanded export market. The establishment of SEZs provides more favorable conditions for export-oriented manufacturing, highlighting cost advantages.
