Malaysia's Strategic Position Boosting Market Entry

  • Positioned at the crossroads of major trade routes, Malaysia offers strategic advantages for CDMO operations for entering the fast-growing ASEAN market.
  • Exploiting Malaysia's connectivity can ease logistics costs and facilitate faster supply reach, thus supporting a forecasted growth of 5% year-on-year within the industry.

Increased R&D Investments Expanding Capacity

  • With state-level investments exceeding 4% of GDP into R&D, the CDMO sector finds strong support for innovation and developing complex compounds.
  • Encouraging further collaborations could enhance expertise and industry capacity, catering effectively to rising global pharmaceutical demands, thereby increasing market share.
