- Malaysia generated about US$95.0 billion of manufacturing value added in 2024 and ranks #4/11 among ASEAN members returned for the same year.
- All requested ASEAN members returned a 2024 value.
- Manufacturing value added measures domestic value created by manufacturing activity. It is not the same as manufactured exports or approved investment.
