Market Research in Malaysia
Market Overview of Malaysia
Economy
53% of Malaysia’s GDP is contributed by the services sector, and about 38% by the industrial sector. Its growth rate is about 4.3%. Malaysia is also one of the leading producers of rubber in the world.
However, the Malaysian Ringgit has been showing signs of weakening in recent years. Due to this, many Malaysians go to Singapore to work instead, where they can earn a much higher income. This has resulted in a high talent outflow from Malaysia.
Consumers
West Malaysia is more urbanised than East Malaysia, hence spending habits vary slightly across the country.
Malaysians also like to buy online, but there are still concerns about online fraud, and consumers are wary of providing card details online.
Market Research in Malaysia
Market research can be conducted in the English language for respondents of higher socioeconomic classes or professionals, as well as in Kuala Lumpur. However, for respondents with lower socioeconomic classes, Bahasa Malaysia is usually used. For more complex topics, it might be better to use respondents’ mother tongue languages for them to be able to speak even more freely.
