  • Cambodia's garment industry heavily relies on fabric imports, with China being the largest supplier, accounting for 79.26 per cent of Cambodia's total fabric imports in 2022. The fabric imports from China stood as $4.407 billion in 2022. China's dominance is also evident in yarn and fibre imports with 85.96 per cent and 83.48 per cent share respectively.
Cambodia is the world's leading supplier of garments, and focuses mainly on apparel production, thus imports fabric instead of fibre and yarn. The country is heavily reliant on China for fabric, which accounted for 79.26 per cent of Cambodia’s total fabric imports in 2022. Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen recently said that China is the largest supplier of raw materials to the kingdom's garment industry. 

Cambodia imported fabric worth $4.407 billion in 2022, with China supplying $3.493 billion, or 79.26 per cent. China's fabric exports to Cambodia were valued at $4.632 billion in 2017, rising to $5.495 billion in 2018, but falling to $4.610 billion in 2019 and $2.299 billion in 2020. However, China regained market share with exports valued at $3.2986 billion in 2021 and $3.493 billion in 2022, according to Fibre2Fashion’s market insight tool TexPro.

Cambodia's yarn imports totalled $346.120 million in 2022, with China supplying $297.528 million (85.96 per cent). The country's fibre imports were minimal due to its focus on garment production, with imports totalling $5.865 million in 2022. Of this, China supplied $4.896 million, or 83.48 per cent, as per TexPro. 

The data highlights China's dominance in supplying raw materials to Cambodia's garment industry.
