Cambodia's infrastructure sector failed to maintain its red hot pace of expansion in 2013, with real growth dropping from 16.3% to 6.4%.

We therefore envisage only a moderate pick-up in activity for 2014, with the industry's real growth forecasted at 8.2%.

Besides the dampened economy, declining demand for traditional powder detergents due to their chemical residues and high energy consumption had a crucial influence on laundry care, which saw a slowdown in momentum in 2013.

The local industry's inability to meet domestic requirements means that the country will remain a significant net importer of petrochemicals products in Asia.
