(Phnom Penh): Trade between Cambodia and Thailand reached over USD 3.6 billion in 2025, marking a decline of 14.86% as diplomatic tensions and a consumer boycott impacted cross-border commerce.

Despite the decline, Thailand remained Cambodia’s fourth-largest trading partner, after China, the United States, and Viet Nam.

Data from the Ministry of Commerce shows that bilateral trade continued despite the dispute, which has escalated since mid-2025. Total trade volume dropped from over USD 4.2 billion in 2024 to USD 3.6 billion in 2025.

Thai exports to Cambodia declined by 15.04% to USD 2.9 billion, while Cambodian exports to Thailand fell 14.15% to USD 732 million.

According to experts, trade between Cambodia and Thailand continues to be driven by the import and export of essential materials for industrial operations and production. As a result, transportation activities have not come to a halt but have shifted toward maritime routes.
