Businesses eye ASEAN opportunities, with Malaysia in focus and Hong Kong as ideal platform

Mainland Chinese enterprises are increasingly focusing on ASEAN as part of their international expansion strategies, with Malaysia being a prominent target within the region. According to a survey by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), 91% of surveyed mainland companies plan to develop business in ASEAN, driven by the need to access new markets, diversify supply chains, and capitalize on emerging industries like AI, semiconductors, and renewable energy. Hong Kong is seen as a crucial platform providing professional services such as legal compliance, marketing, and supply chain management to support these expansions. Malaysia stands out due to its developed industrial infrastructure, skilled labor force, and initiatives aimed at advancing manufacturing and technology sectors. Economic relations between Hong Kong and Malaysia have been strengthening, highlighting the strategic importance of both regions in facilitating trade and investment.
