Consumer Electronics in Malaysia
Consumer electronics in Malaysia saw modest growth in 2023, although sales remained well below 2021 levels in constant value (2023 prices) terms. As the country emerged from the pandemic, consumers became increasingly keen to travel, socialise and spend more time outside the home, which translated into lower spending on electronics. Local tourism was also boosted by the introduction of new tax incentives, designed to encourage Malaysians to travel domestically.
