PRODUCTIVITY PERFORMANCE OF THE MANUFACTURING SECTOR<br />
external demand from major trading partners.<br />
Nevertheless, primary-related cluster continued to<br />
support growth of the export-oriented industries,<br />
driven mainly by refined petroleum products, and<br />
chemicals and chemical-related product industries<br />
due to strong regional demand for such raw<br />
material products.<br />
In contrast, domestic-oriented industries continued<br />
to expand and supported mainly by the strong<br />
performance of the rubber, plastics and especially<br />
construction-related industries following robust<br />
construction activities which required greater<br />
production of non-metallic minerals and fabricated<br />
metal products.<br />
Although domestic-oriented industries outweighed<br />
the export-oriented industries, E&E<br />
156<br />
products remained the largest contributor<br />
to added value accounting for 28.1% of total<br />
manufacturing added value in 2011. The chemicals<br />
and chemical products was the second largest<br />
contributor accounting for 13.8% followed by food<br />
and beverages at 9.4% and rubber and plastics<br />
products at 9.0% (Figure 7.2).<br />
<strong>Productivity</strong> Performance of Sub-Sectors<br />
and Industries<br />
Positive growth in productivity was recorded in<br />
all sub-sectors and industries except for paper<br />
and paper products, transport equipment, and<br />
machinery and equipment in 2011 (Figure 7.3).<br />
Refined petroleum products contributed the<br />
highest productivity growth of 10.7% amounting<br />
to RM70,273 within the manufacturing sector<br />
