Textiles and Apparels Industry
The growth of Malaysia's textiles and apparel industry accelerated in the early 1970s when the country embarked on export-oriented industrialisation. With exports valued at RM 10.49 while imports amounted to RM 5.46 billion thus making Malaysia a net exporter of textiles and textile products. There are 662 licensed companies in production with investments of RM8.3 billion. The industry employs more than 68,264 workers.
The industry currently encompasses a broad range of integrated activities ranging from polymerisation and man-made fibre production, spinning, texturizing, weaving, knitting, dyeing, printing and finishing of yarn and fabrics; manufacture of made-up garments and other made-up textile goods such as carpets, bed and table linen and ropes. The industry also covers the manufacture of non-woven fabrics for personal care products, made-up garments, furniture and bedding as well as construction and engineering applications.
Today, Malaysia's textiles and apparels industry has the potential to evolve into a developed industry cluster. This was achieved through:
- moving up the value-chain,
- developing innovative local fashion designs with brand names,
- enhancing product development through R&D in the areas of dyeing,
- printing and finishing,
- developing new fibres,
- yarns and industrial and home textiles,
- improving productivity through automation,
- flexible manufacturing and technical competence,
- the development of an efficient global distribution and marketing network,
- and strengthening the overall linkages.
New growth areas in textiles industry have been targeted for promotion under the Third Industrial Master Plan (IMP3). The growth areas for the industry include: industrial and home textiles; functional fabrics; high-end fabrics and garments; ethnic fabrics; and key support facilities and services such as design houses and fashion centres, specialized dyeing and finishing facilities, etc.
Six strategic thrusts have been set for further development of the industry during the IMP3 period. The thrusts includes:
- Intensifying the promotion of investment in higher value-added textiles and apparel, including key support services
- Sustaining the market share in textiles and apparel and promoting exports of the targeted growth areas
- Intensifying regional integration of the industry
- Enhancing domestic capabilities and facilitating the utilisation of ICT and new technologies
- Enhancing the skills of the workforce in designing production and marketing
- Strengthening the institutional support for the further development of the industry
