Report highlights:
The Malaysian construction industry increased in value at a CAGR of almost 11% during the last four years to reach just under MYR91 billion in 2013. Growth was supported by the country’s economic development and an increase in investment opportunities in public infrastructure projects. Industry growth is expected to remain strong over the next four years, driven by the government’s increasing expenditure on public infrastructure and its rising interest in the construction of residential units to meet housing demand. Consequently, the industry is expected to record a forecast-period CAGR of 9%, to value almost MYR140 billion in 2018.
Infrastructure construction is the largest market in the industry, accounting for 37% of the industry’s total value last year. Increased government investments, alongside private sector participation through public-private partnerships (PPPs), supported infrastructure construction activity during the review period. Infrastructure construction is projected to continue expanding, driven by investments in road, energy and rail infrastructure.

Residential construction was the second-largest market in the Malaysian construction industry in 2013, accounting for almost 29% share of the industry’s total value. Growth over the last five years can be attributed to government investments in affordable housing, the country’s low unemployment rates, increasing disposable income levels, and an improvement in the demand for housing supported by low interest rates. These factors will continue to support the market over the forecast period. Therefore, the market is anticipated to record a forecast-period CAGR of just under 7%, to value MYR36.5 billion in 2018.
