Cambodia=92s garment industry has evolved from nowhere in the mid- 1990s
to become the country=92s most important manufacturing sector. This
meteoric rise has been aided by more settled political and social
conditions following the horrors of the Khmer Rouge regime and by the
adoption of an open market economy.
In particular, the government has provided strong encouragement for
foreign investors through a series of generous incentives, while
exports have benefited from preferential access to the all-important
markets of the USA and the EU.
As a result, garment manufacturing now accounts for around 14% of the
country=92s GDP and for 82% of exports, as well as employing 45% of its
manufacturing workforce.
This momentum appears set to continue, although there are a number of
serious impediments to overcome. The sector is uncomfortably dependent
on imported raw materials for its production. Also, the country=92s
infrastructure requires huge investment in power generation and
transport.
There is a need also for the sector to utilise more high-tech
manufacturing equipment rather than depending on low cost labour as a
means of retaining international competitiveness. The industry would
benefit too if more value adding processes such as design and
marketing came under domestic control.
On balance, though, the dynamism and vibrancy which have characterised
the garment industry=92s recent development look set to continue.
