BMCC Sector Report 2018/2019: Manufacturing

Manufacturing in Malaysia began during the late 70’s as the economy transitioned from agricultural sec- tors. Ever since, the sector has been an integral part of the Malaysian economy which accounts for over 20% of total GDP. Malaysia’s GDP reached 5.6 per cent year-on-year in the first quarter of 2017 representing a growth rate of 1.8 per cent; the highest result in two years. This growth is attributed to a combination of fac- tors including the expected sales value of the strong manufacturing sector.
