Industrial production in Malaysia climbed 4.8% year on year in December 2025, accelerating from 4.3% growth in the previous month, which was the softest expansion in eleven months, primarily driven by faster growth in manufacturing (6.7% vs 4.9% in November) and electricity (3.7% vs 2.7%). Within manufacturing, growth was mainly boosted by stronger output in electrical and electronics (12.8% vs 1.8%), as well as food, beverages, and tobacco (11.2% vs 8.0%). However, mining output fell by 2.5% in December, reversing a 2.3% increase in the previous month, weighed down by a decline in natural gas output (-7.9% vs 1.0%), while crude oil and condensate production grew by 6.4%. For the full year of 2025, industrial production remained broadly stable, growing by 3.6% (vs 3.7% in 2024), with all sectors posting positive growth. On a seasonally adjusted monthly basis, industrial activity rose by 1.0% in December, after a 1.3% drop in the preceding period. source: Department of Statistics, Malaysia
