Malaysia’s semiconductor industry, historically anchored in back-end assembly, test, and packaging, is diversifying toward higher-value activities including advanced packaging and, increasingly, front-end wafer fabrication investment under the government’s National Semiconductor Strategy.
The database tracks facility-level detail for established OSAT operations in Penang and Kulim alongside newly announced front-end and advanced packaging investments, mapping each facility to its parent company and stated capacity or investment commitment.
Major Investment Announcements (USD Billion, approx.)
Looking ahead, Untapped Markets expects Malaysia’s semiconductor sector to keep expanding beyond its traditional back-end strength, as front-end fab investment and the National Semiconductor Strategy reshape the country’s role in the global supply chain.
The Malaysia Semiconductor Manufacturing Database is developed using a structured, multi-source research process designed to ensure accuracy and consistency across every tracked record.
The research team defines the full universe of semiconductor manufacturing facilities to be tracked within scope, drawing on regulatory filings, industry association membership lists, company disclosures, and prior desk research to establish an initial master list.
Each record is populated using primary sources including company announcements, regulatory and permitting filings, government databases, and, where available, direct outreach to operators and developers, cross-checked against secondary sources such as industry reports and trade press coverage.
Records are standardized into a consistent schema covering location, capacity or scale, ownership, operational status, and timeline detail, allowing like-for-like comparison across all regions of Malaysia.
The database is reviewed on a periodic basis to reflect newly announced projects, status changes, and ownership updates, with the 2026 reference year reflecting the most recent verified data snapshot at time of publication.
Malaysia is one of the world’s leading semiconductor manufacturing hubs, with hundreds of facilities involved in assembly, testing, packaging, wafer fabrication, and integrated circuit production. The Malaysia Semiconductor Manufacturing Database 2026 provides facility-level intelligence covering operational, expanding, and announced semiconductor manufacturing sites nationwide.
Malaysia’s semiconductor industry is centered around Penang, Kulim, Selangor, Johor, and Melaka, supported by world-class industrial parks, skilled talent, and strong export infrastructure. The database provides state-wise manufacturing facility analysis.
The database includes facilities operated by Intel, Infineon Technologies, ASE, Unisem, Amkor, Texas Instruments, Renesas, STMicroelectronics, Micron, and other global semiconductor manufacturers, together with facility ownership and production details.
The database includes facility name, company, location, manufacturing type, technology focus, project status, investment information, ownership, and production capabilities, providing comprehensive semiconductor manufacturing intelligence.
Growth is supported by AI-driven semiconductor demand, advanced packaging investments, the National Semiconductor Strategy, export growth, and increasing investments in front-end and back-end semiconductor manufacturing.
The database is intended for semiconductor companies, equipment suppliers, electronics manufacturers, investors, consultants, governments, and supply chain professionals monitoring Malaysia’s semiconductor ecosystem.
