Malaysia Manufacturing PMI
Malaysia's Manufacturing PMI fell to 49.8 in September 2025 from 49.9 in August 2025, a 0.2% decrease. This reflects stable manufacturing sector health despite a slight decline. Demand improved mid-third quarter with production and new orders growing in August, the latter at its fastest pace in three years. The electrical and electronics sector, especially semiconductors, is expected to drive manufacturing growth amid a predicted global market recovery. However, global economic outlook concerns lowered business sentiment to its lowest since June 2021. Manufacturers raised output charges due to rising input costs. Malaysia's record low manufacturing PMI was 46.5 in January 2023 and record high was 50.3 in August 2022.
