Key Insights

  1. Market Trends
    Market ~USD10.85bn in 2025 (Mordor est.); Jan–Apr 2026 E&E exports +32.1%; AI-enabling exports RM319.05bn (52.4% of exports, MATRADE).
  2. Strategic Conclusions
    NSS fiscal pool ~RM25bn; upstream IC design & advanced packaging; ~13% global OSAT (industry est.).
  3. Investment Conclusions
    JS-SEZ SG+ Twinning, local ATE (ViTrox/Pentamaster), SiC fabs; compliance case-by-case.
  4. Risk Conclusions
    60,000 engineers is NSS training target; Johor water model 808 vs 142 MLD.
  5. Future Directions
    IC design + advanced packaging revenue share may exceed 30% by 2028 (MMM forecast); key ASEAN hub.

Semiconductor market ~USD10.85bn (2025, Mordor est.) → ~USD16.51bn (2030E); OSAT share ~13%; NSS pool ~RM25bn; 2024 E&E approved FDI RM53.3bn; AI-enabling exports Jan–Apr RM319.05bn.

Key takeaways：

  1. Geopolitical hub: Shift from cost arbitrage to China+1 shelter and AI backend capacity.
  2. NSS execution: Three-phase roadmap for IC design, advanced packaging and equipment.
  3. Export scope: 7.51% global share in OEC semiconductor-device HS categories (2nd under this definition).
  4. Local ATE rise: ViTrox and Pentamaster integrated into global fab supply chains.
  5. Utility stress: Johor data-centre and fab expansion intensifies water/power competition.
  6. Capital mix: FDI-dominated (95.5%); domestic capital moving to design and equipment.
