Malaysia Chemical Sector Report 2018/2019

The Malaysian chemicals sector is one of the most developed in the ASEAN region. Malaysia is a regionally important petrochemicals producer, and it is also one of the world’s largest producers of oleochemicals. Malaysia’s leading position in these subsectors is due to the abundance of feedstock, in the form of oil and gas fields for petrochemicals and of oil palm plantations for the oleochemicals subsector. Malaysia also produces a wide range of other chemicals, primarily for domestic consumption, except for the plastics product category in which Malaysia is a major exporter. Malaysia’s expertise is in the bulk production of basic chemicals, but the country is aiming to move further up the value chain to producing specialised chemicals.
