New Malaysia Data Now Available on Blooming: Track Southeast Asia’s Economic Trends and Business Opportunities

Blooming - https://www.bloominglobal.com has officially launched its Malaysia Trade Database on the platform in 2025 - unlocking valuable insights for businesses seeking to explore and expand in the Malaysian market.

Malaysia's economy showed resilience and momentum in 2024, with the services sector growing 5.4%, industry expanding 4.2%, and agriculture increasing 3.1% year-on-year. According to Zafri, Malaysia's Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry, the country's economic performance "exceeded expectations," driven by robust investment and export growth. Notably, total investment rose 12% year-on-year, marking the strongest performance in nearly 12 years, while exports of motor vehicles and electronics recorded significant gains.

The National Bank of Malaysia reported that headline and core inflation both eased to 1.8% in 2024, down from 2.5% and 3.0% respectively in 2023. Looking ahead, inflation is expected to remain under control, with GDP projected to grow 4.6% in 2025.

While strong domestic demand and rising investment provide a solid foundation for growth, external challenges - including a slowdown in global trade and uncertainty around international tariff policies - remain potential headwinds.

The newly launched Malaysia database on Blooming offers comprehensive, real-time trade data to help users stay ahead of market shifts and capture emerging opportunities in Southeast Asia's dynamic economy.
