Consumer and Industrial Products Automotive, electronics, other industrial products The electrical and electronics (E&E) industry is a key driver of Malaysia’s industrial development and contributes significantly to GDP growth, export earnings, investment and employment. The E&E industry accounts for over a third (38.3%) of total manufacturing sector, a substantial share (58.9%) of total manufactured exports and nearly half (44%) of Malaysia's total exports. While Malaysia is a key player in the fast expanding Asia Pacific E&E market, its major export destinations include Singapore, US, EU, Japan and Taiwan. The industry is targeted under the Ninth Malaysian Plan to move towards a higher level of technology adoption and to produce greater value-added outputs. Retail & Consumer The Malaysian retail industry is generally bouyant with strong retail growth of 12.8% in 2007, the highest since 1992 while private consumption expenditure grew at 11.7%. With the economic slowdown and the increasing prices of basic commodities, the industry is expected to face challenges as consumers begin to limit their expenditures whilst retailers face cost pressures with rising material costs and intense competition.
		Energy and Utilities Oil & gas, power, water Globally, the oil and gas industry continue to experience price volatilities, technological advancements and regulatory changes. Global crude oil prices continue to increase due to supply constraints, lack of skilled manpower as well as increasing costs of exploration and production. In response, energy and utility companies are focused on performance improvements and driving costs down.

		Multimedia and InfoComm Telecommunication, media and broadcasting The telecommunications industry is expected to see healthy growth but stiffer competition for both new and established industry players. With broadband penetration rates of just 5% per 100 inhabitants in 2007, broadband services will further drive the industry's growth. The Malaysian government together with the state-owned telecom operator has committed to invest some RM15.2 billion in developing a high-speed broadband infrastructure to selected parts of the country over a period of 10 years. On the other hand, the media industry is challenged by the rapidly changing environment, birth of new digital technologies and advertising money diverting to new media platforms on the internet. The local media industry has yet to capitalise on the full potential of the internet which will remain the fastest and the next powerful media platform, globally.
		Services Education, healthcare, hospitality The services sector is a major contributor to the growth of the Malaysian economy. Growth in the sector is led by the intermediate services group comprising finance and insurance, real estate and business services, transport and storage as well as communication sub-sectors. Recent years also saw the growth of a range of new and innovative services products, such as shared services outsourcing of business and professional services.
		Government Federal government, state government, statutory bodies The key thrust of the 9th Malaysian Plan (2006-2010) is moving the economy up the value chain through the enhancement of human capital. With increasing competition locally and globally and progressive market liberalisation, the emphasis is transforming the economy to a productivity-driven and a private sector-led economy.
