The retail industry in Malaysia contributes an estimated 8.6 percent to the country's economy. The recent renewal of trade vows with India will significantly contribute to the growth of the industry. Both nations observed the need to accelerate the review process to reach a substantial conclusion by 2025, with the key objectives of boosting trade flows and ensuring a balanced and mutually beneficial agreement. According to Mordor Intelligence, the industry is expected to continue growing, with the market size projected to reach $126.75 billion by 2030. However, while physical stores remain popular, e-commerce and digital transformation are increasingly making their foray, shaping the country's retail landscape. Another Mordor Intelligence report says that the e-commerce market size in Malaysia is estimated at $12.26 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach $23.93 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 14.32 percent during the forecast period (2025-2030). This growth is largely driven by consumer electronics, fashion and apparel, and personal care industries. Investments in these sectors are creating new opportunities for expansion. Additionally, in Malaysia, internet accessibility has become nearly universal, with almost everyone in the country using mobile phones to go online. On the other hand, it is a great omen that the local retail and e-tail organizations are increasingly realizing the benefits of AI to innovate and upscale. Microsoft recently announced the AI for Malaysia's Future (AIForMYFuture) initiative, committing to skill 800,000 people with AI by the end of 2025. It's a sure bet that the retail and e-commerce industries in the country are poised for growth. This yearly special issue is dedicated to leaders optimizing the potential of this growth opportunity in Malaysia.
