Summary
The Malaysian construction industry registered a 25.9% annual growth rate in 2012. The growth was
supported by the country’s expanding economy and increased government spending on public
infrastructure. The construction industry’s growth is expected to remain strong over the forecast period, as
a result of the government’s focus on infrastructure and residential construction. Infrastructure and
residential construction collectively accounted for 63.9% of the total construction industry in 2012, and
these two markets will also contribute significantly to the total construction industry’s growth over the
forecast period. The Malaysian construction industry’s output is expected to record a CAGR of 11.48%
over the forecast period. Malaysia’s property market remains one of the strongest performers in the
region, supported by positive investor sentiments, healthy domestic demand, low borrowing cost and
attractive loan packages offered by banks. Following a strong performance in 2012, the property market
is expected to maintain its growth momentum for the next few years. The government is providing the
sector with a major boost: in the 2013 budget, it made affordable housing a “continuous priority,”
allocating MYR1.9 billion (US$610 million) to build 123,000 new affordable housing units.
