REGIONAL / GLOBAL TRADEThe volume of exports and imports in Malaysia far exceeds the needs of its population in terms of proportion, which underlines the future direction of Malaysian logisticsto serve regional / global markets.
In 2019, Malaysia’s registered total trade value of RM1.8 trillion. The manufacturing sector is the principle contributor to Malaysia’s total exports (2019: RM 986.4 bil), inwhich electrical & electronic products (RM 834.2 bil) form the bulk of exports.
THE HALAL CARDAs reported in a State of the Global Islamic Economy report, Muslims spent $2.2 trillion (RM 9.38 trillion) on halal goods and Islamic lifestyle sectors in 2018. This figurewill only increase as the Muslim population is forecasted to reach 2.2 billion by 2030.
As of February 2020, 46 countries have recognised Malaysia’s Islamic Development Department’s (JAKIM) halal certification, signifying the strong foundation built by thenation in this sector. RM 40.2 billion worth of halal goods were exported by Malaysia in 2019. Logistics companies will play a major role in the emerging “Halal logistics”industry in Malaysia.

FREE ZONEFor companies intending to set up their regional manufacturing or distributionbases in Malaysia, they can do so in a Free Zone which to minimise customsformalities. The designated area is declared by the Minister of Finance underthe provision of Section 3(1) of the Free Zones Act 1990 to be a FreeCommercial Zone (FCZ) or Free Industrial Zone (FIZ) in Malaysia.
In areas where FIZs are not available, companies can set up LicensedManufacturing Warehouses (LMWs) which are accorded facilities similar tothose enjoyed by establishments in FIZs. Integrated Free Zones are availablefor companies involved in both manufacturing and commercial activities.
FZs and logistics form a symbiotic relationship as the latter’s performancedirectly affects international trade performance. With the support of theFederal Government, successful logistics clusters have been established wheredifferent players are able to work symbiotically and efficiently to ensurecontinuous growth in external trade.

THE FUTURE OF MALAYSIA’S LOGISTICSLOCATION: Strategically located on the Straits of Malacca and serving as agateway to the South China Sea, Malaysia is ideally positioned to emerge asTHE regional logistics hub.
LOGISTICS ENABLED: Land availability, a skilled labour pool and establishedinfrastructure are among the strengths of Malaysia in becoming a destinationof choice for logistics and multinational companies’ regional distributioncentres (RDC) to better serve the SEA market, and onwards to the Indian,Middle East and African markets.
E-COMMERCE: The rise in e-commerce will spur logistics in areas close toseaports, airports and urban catchments, as retailers and 3PL providers alikeare striving to meet the demand for e-commerce fulfilment. The activeindustrial development market in Malaysia is an underlining testament to theprospects of e-commerce, logistics and warehousing activities.
HALAL TRADE MARKET / AHEAD OF THE CURVE: Providing one of the mostglobally recognised halal certifications, Malaysia is poised to develop as theGlobal Halal Hub to serve the growing halal market in Asia and the MiddleEast.
AIR FREIGHT RISING FROM THE ASHES: One of the worst hit by thepandemic, the air cargo industry will recover due to the surge in e-commercedemand. KLIA Aeropolis will be the primary catalyst in spurring the sector’sgrowth.
GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN REALIGNMENT: The changing global manufacturinglandscape may just tip the scale in favour of Malaysia. With readily availablemanufacturing resources and skills, Malaysia can attract manufacturing companieslooking at setting up alternative manufacturing bases. Electrical and electronics (E&E)stands as the country’s strongest manufacturing industry.
FREE ZONE: Free Zones will facilitate import/export activities enabling customsprocess and tariffs to be minimised for re-export manufacturing and regionaldistribution.
GOVERNMENT COMMITMENT: The government continues to invest in portexpansions and road networks to support development of a regional logisticsgateway.
PRIVATE SECTOR CONSENSUS: A round of surveys with the logistics players inMalaysia consolidated our expectations that the future of the logistics industry inMalaysia lies in regional/global growth. 3PL companies are expanding and lookingfor additional warehouse space.
ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT: Port capacity, technology adoption and efficiency oftrade facilitation mechanisms are key determinants to strengthen Malaysia’scompetitive advantage in the future of Logistics.
