MALAYSIA’S key real estate sectors are poised for “promising growth trajectories” – in particular, the industrial market, as it rides global high-growth drivers such as semiconductors, according to a Knight Frank Malaysia report.

The country’s industrial sector has experienced “significant growth” due to increasing global demand for manufactured goods and the establishment of new industrial parks, among other factors.

“This positive trajectory is expected to continue, driven by ongoing investments, technological advancements and a growing emphasis on sustainability,” said the report, adding that Malaysia’s commitment to renewable energy is an opportunity for collaboration with global investors in green tech.

“With a robust manufacturing ecosystem and a strategic location, Malaysia is poised to attract investments in high-growth sectors such as electronics, semiconductors and medical devices,” it added.

The country is also well-positioned to tap shifts in global trade and supply chains, especially after the 2024 US presidential election, said Knight Frank. For instance, Malaysia’s market access and its role in global trade could improve on potentially renewed US engagement in multilateral trade agreements.
