Top Industrial Corridors in Malaysia Backed by Infrastructure Mega Projects

Malaysia’s industrial property market is evolving fast—thanks to large-scale infrastructure projects that are unlocking new logistics routes and accelerating investor interest. From the East Coast to Johor, several corridors are emerging as the next wave of industrial growth zones for 2025 and beyond.

1. East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) – Linking Port Klang to Kuantan and Kelantan

The ECRL is set to be a game changer. Once completed, it will connect the Klang Valley to the East Coast, including Kuantan Port and areas like Temerloh and Kota Bharu. This opens up opportunities for logistics hubs, processing plants, and warehouse clusters along the rail line.

Hotspots to Watch: Bentong, Temerloh, Kuantan, Dungun

With the RTS Link (Johor Bahru to Woodlands) progressing and Singapore manufacturers eyeing relocation, Johor is set to absorb industrial demand. Nusajaya, Iskandar Puteri, and Pasir Gudang are already benefitting.

Why It Matters: Proximity to Singapore, new port infrastructure, and land price advantage fuel investor appeal.

5. North-South Expressway Upgrades and Interchanges

Several new interchanges and link roads along the PLUS Highway are improving access to inland industrial zones, such as:
