The figures show that from January to September this year, Cambodia's exports of rubber and rubber products rose from US$1.41 billion in the same period last year to US$2.341 billion, an obvious increase. The products were mainly sold to markets including China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and the European Union.
In terms of annual figures, the scale of Cambodia's rubber industry exports continues to expand. In 2025, exports of rubber and rubber products reached US$2.065 billion, up 36.9 percent from US$1.508 billion in 2024 and up 124.8 percent from US$918 million in 2023.

With continued growth in rubber exports and the expansion of international trade, economic and trade ties between Cambodia and its major trading partners have been further strengthened. The performance of rubber and rubber product exports has also become an important indicator for observing Cambodia's foreign trade growth.
