In July 2026, Malaysia’s manufacturing sector experienced a 9.1 per cent year-on-year increase in sales, reaching RM177.3 billion. While sales continued to grow, the pace of expansion slowed compared to previous months. The increase was primarily propelled by strong performance within the electrical and electronics (E&E) products sub-sector. This demonstrates continued, though moderating, strength in this key industry for Malaysia. The data suggests a resilient manufacturing base in KUALA LUMPUR and across the country despite broader economic conditions. Further analysis will be needed to determine if this slowdown is a temporary trend or indicates a more significant shift. This growth in the sector provides a positive, if nuanced, indicator for the Malaysian economy.
