Malaysia Manufacturing Sector Challenges

Source: 11th Malaysian Plan, Strategy Paper 19 – Energizing Manufacturing Secor

Dependencies on labor

intensive processes, lack of

innovation & supply industry-

relevant talents impede our

manufacturing sector from

being more competitive and

productive than regional

counterparts (Singapore,

Taiwan, Korea, China).

Need to move into more complex

products (higher added value) and

usage of automation and digital system

in manufacturing processes (higher productivity).
