Kuala lumpur: Malaysia’s construction industry is projected to experience significant growth, with an anticipated increase of 9.6 percent in 2025. This growth is part of the country’s broader strategy to enhance sustainability and accelerate the development of green infrastructure under the 13th Malaysia Plan.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the energy and utilities sub-sector is expected to grow by 6.5 percent in 2025. This is in comparison to the overall infrastructure industry growth forecast of 4.2 percent. The report highlights that power plants and transmission grids will continue to hold the largest share of industry value in Malaysia’s energy and utilities construction sector. These elements are expected to be the primary growth drivers in the upcoming decade.

The transport sector’s growth will be supported by the Malaysian government’s focus on improving connectivity in less developed regions, particularly in Sabah and Sarawak. BMI’s forecast indicates that Malaysia’s construction sector will witness an annual growth of 4.1 percent from 2025 to 2034. This sustained growth is expected to be driven by the country’s energy transition and industrial investment.

Malaysia’s strategic location within global supply chains, along with supportive governmental initiatives such as the New Industrial Master Plan 2030, is anticipated to continue attracting manufacturing and logistics investments. These factors collectively contribute to the long-term growth prospects of Malaysia’s construction sector.
