PETALING JAYA: Analysts have maintained their growth forecast for manufacturing gross domestic product at 4% for the fourth quarter of this year (4Q25), making no changes to overall gross domestic product (GDP) projections for both 4Q25 and the full year.

TA Research said, although the manufacturing sector’s recovery has been gradual, firmer demand, improving employment trends, and a sharp rebound in business confidence all suggest that momentum is becoming more sustainable heading into next year.
