Thailand is a net exporter in textile trade with Cambodia. The latter imports textiles—mainly fabric—from the former to meet the demands of its local industry. Fabric is the core product in Thailand’s textile exports to Cambodia, accounting for 95.88 per cent of total Thai textile exports worth $116.327 million in 2024. Thailand also exported yarn worth $4.284 million last year, while fibre exports were negligible, according to TexPro.

During January–February 2025, Thailand exported textiles worth $17.966 million, of which fabric shipments were valued at $17.330 million—representing 96.46 per cent of the total.
