Cambodia - Distribution and Sales ChannelsCambodia - Distribution and Sales
Cambodia places minimal restrictions on foreign participation in the import/export and distribution sectors. Cambodia’s retail landscape is undergoing rapid transformation. In addition to stalls and shops at traditional markets, goods are increasingly sold at small-scale Western-style shopping malls, convenience stores, and supermarkets that cater mostly to wealthy Cambodians, the urban middle class, and expatriates. Importers can apply for exclusive rights to import brand-name products from the Ministry of Commerce. Foreign investments in modern shopping malls include Aeon Mall, a Japanese venture that opened mid-2014, and Aeon Mall 2 which opened in May 2018. The total number of retail malls is expected to increase from 10 to 27 by the end of 2019.
