Assessing the Impact of Rising Energy Costs on Cambodia's Private Sector
EuroCham Cambodia – 2026
In response to growing concerns over rising energy, logistics, and input costs in Cambodia, EuroCham conducted a spot survey to understand the impact of global supply chain disruptions and price volatility on the business sector. The survey was conducted with 59 member companies in April 2026 and targeted industry consultations, the study examined business exposure across key sectors including agriculture, manufacturing, construction, tourism, and consumer goods.
The survey findings revealed widespread cost pressures, with nearly 70% of respondents reporting higher supplier prices, over 60% indicating moderate to high dependence on fuel and fuel-derived products, and 44% already passing increased costs on to customers. The assessment also highlighted growing risks to investment, business operations, and competitiveness if current conditions persist. Based on these insights, EuroCham Cambodia was able to develop evidence-based policy recommendations on areas such as targeted tax relief and support for alternative energy adoption, helping inform dialogue with government and strengthen business resilience.
