Cambodia Gemstones Market is projected to register a CAGR of 12.25% during 2025-2031. This reflects demand in both local and international markets. The overall development in this market is attributed to widespread tourism, as international buyers are boosting gemstone sales. Besides, increasing disposable incomes and an inclination toward customized jewelry are accelerating Cambodia Gemstones Market Growth.
However, lack of advanced cutting and polishing infrastructure, unstable gemstone prices, and competition from synthetic alternatives are expected to hamper development in this.

As well, investments in gemstone certification labs and online sales platforms are expected to enhance consumer trust, thereby increasing revenues.
Cambodia Gemstones Industry is fragmented, with small-scale miners, local traders, and a few established jewelers operating in the market.
