Why Cambodian buyers source medicines from India

Market overview

Cambodia's pharmaceutical market overview

Cambodia's pharmaceutical market has grown steadily, driven by rising healthcare demand, a young and expanding population of 17 million+, and government investment in medical infrastructure. According to Statista, the market is estimated at roughly US$444 million in revenue for 2024, with a compound annual growth rate of about 6.45% from 2024 to 2028. Estimates vary by source and definition.

Cambodia depends heavily on imports: the U.S. Department of Commerce reports the country imports over 90% of its pharmaceutical products, particularly from India, Thailand, China and France, with domestic production covering only a small share of demand. Regulation is overseen by the Ministry of Health through the Department of Drugs and Food (DDF), which manages product registration and licensing; foreign companies must appoint a local agent or distributor to register products, and ongoing ASEAN regulatory harmonisation is gradually simplifying cross-border trade.
