Preah Sihanouk Export-Oriented Manufacturing
Preah Sihanouk Province will shift from labor-intensive industries such as textiles and garment manufacturing to focusing on high-value-added and technology-intensive products, including electronics assembly, automotive components and other advanced manufacturing sectors. This transition reflects a broader industrial upgrading strategy aimed at enhancing productivity, diversifying the economic base and positioning the province as a competitive hub within regional and global supply chains. By attracting investment in smart manufacturing and supporting infrastructure, the province aims to create skilled employment opportunities, foster innovation, and increase the export value of Cambodian-made products.
Preah Sihanouk Province is fast becoming Cambodia’s next industrial growth engine, with 5 operational Special Economic Zones offering investors a gateway to diversified, value-added manufacturing. Backed by the MPSEZ, the province is upgrading its strong textile base with OEM capabilities while opening new frontiers in electronics, machinery and building materials. With rising demand for electric vehicles and smart devices, Preah Sihanouk is primed for full-scale electronic and automotive component production. Planned R&D hubs and specialized research centers will anchor innovation, making it an ideal destination for high-tech and future-ready investment.
To develop consumer products, such as household appliances and electronic equipment at the starting point, to gradually move forward to complete machine * assembly, and finally accumulate enough capacity to produce value-added electronic products, to further extend automotive electronics manufacturing to a complete chain of automotive industry.

R&D for the Hi-Tech Manufacturing
To support the development of high-tech manufacturing, it is recommended to establish a Fabrication Laboratory (Fab Lab). The laboratory will provide the capability to create prototypes of products, test new ideas and innovations, and develop new technologies, as well as electronics devices and robots. As the electric automotive is an important development trend in the hi-tech manufacturing, it is suggested to establish an Automotive Research Center. The Center can focus on the electrification research and automotive parts improvement. It is also recommended to establish an Electronic Information Research Center focusing on the electronic parts improvement and new devices R&D. Besides, the Lab-Enterprise Cooperation Center could be established to further provide the place for specialists and professors to transfer the prototypes into the new mass-produced products and devices which can update the production lines of the manufacturing enterprises.
