PHNOM PENH: Cambodia’s automotive tyre manufacturing and export sector continued to show strong momentum in 2025, with four related projects approved by the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC), representing a total capital investment of nearly US$780 million. The CDC stated, “Notably, the number of registered investment projects increased by 216 projects, or about 52 per cent, while total investment capital rose by approximately $3 billion, or about 45 per cent, compared to 2024 when the CDC registered 414 projects with a total investment of around $6.9 billion. In the tyre sector, the CDC approved four projects: one located in the ISI SEZ in Preah Sihanouk province, and three others in SEZs within Svay Rieng province. “With Cambodia’s current advantages, there is a clear opportunity for investors to open tyre manufacturing plants in the country,” he said. He noted that more major international investors are now showing interest in establishing tyre manufacturing plants.
