- Methodology
AbstractMalaysia is a small to medium-sized textiles and clothing (T&C) producer, ranked 49th in the world byvalue added (US$1.78bn in 2008, according to BMI estimates). As might be expected, the industry facesa difficult period over the next two years of slow international economic growth. Without the advantagesof low labour costs and a large domestic market as enjoyed by some of its Asian neighbours and rivals,the Malaysian industry’s future appears to lie in niche, high value added garment and home textilesproduction, including the development of own-brand manufacturing. While BMI sees this as a viablestrategy, it has to be pointed out that success requires another input which is in scarce global supply rightnow - significant financial investment to be channelled into new technology, research and developmentand marketing and distribution. We therefore forecast moderate to low growth rates for the industry overthe medium term.
We estimate that Malaysian T&C manufacturing value added will contract by 5.6% in 2009. Thereafter, itwill begin a recovery with predicted growth of 1.4% in 2010. In the five years to 2008, BMI estimatesthat average annual growth of T&C manufacturing value added was 2.9%, lagging behind GDP at 5.8%.
In the next five years, we see the pace of growth falling to an average of 1.9%, compared to an annualGDP expansion of 2.6%. BMI expects T&C exports to fall by 14.9% in 2009, to US$3.56bn, withimports contracting by 14.0%, to US$1.52bn. Export growth, which averaged 6.7% in the five years to2008, should decrease to 3.9% in the five years through to 2013. Official estimates are that, in 2007,employment in the T&C sector stood at about 67,000 people.
