Plastics and Plastic Products

The Malaysian plastics industry is one of the most dynamic and well-established sectors instrumental in the development of the nation’s economy. Malaysia is one of ASEAN’s top exporters of plastic products as the ready availability of raw materials including plastic resins from downstream activities of Malaysia’s petrochemicals industry and strong government support have helped the industry thrive.

The country is a net exporter of manufactured plastics the form of plates, sheets, films and strips of plastics as well as plastic bags and containers. It is also an active exporter of plastic resins, plastic components as well as finished goods to ASEAN with other major export destinations including Europe and China. Initiatives to advance the plastics industry include increasing automation, enhancing operational efficiency and production processes, strengthening innovation and developing specialisation to deliver new and innovative products to a wider international market.

The sub-sector has diversified production into automotive components, electronics and electrical parts and accessories, components for the telecommunication industry, construction materials, medical components and industrial and consumer goods. Malaysia’s robust industrial framework also sustains the plastics industry and cumulative demand from its thriving electrical and electronics (E&E) industry, a strong automotive industry and a competent mould and die sector, all serve as a catalysts to nurture the plastics industry’s expansion.

Malaysia’s plastics manufacturers are mindful of the ecological and environmental impact they have on the earth and strive to minimise this with highly cost effective manufacturing methodologies and innovative products. Contact MATRADE today to connect with your ideal plastics supplier.
