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 />
