Attention to all of you that are targeting the Malay Market!
In recent years, the Chinese market in Malaysia has become saturated with various products and services, making the market appear insufficiently divided. To expand their market or truly establish themselves as the top brand in Malaysia, many businesses see the Malay market as a lucrative opportunity. According to the latest population report in 2023, Malaysia has a population of 30.4 million, with Malays constituting over 70%!
This has led to more businesses determined not to miss the opportunity and set their sights on entering the Malay market to grab a share of the cake. One of the easiest ways to do this is to establish a presence in Malay hotspots, targeting areas where Malays frequent, and making their presence known.
The following 5 locations in Setapak, known as the non-sleeping city for Malays, are the hotspots that businesses targeting the Malay market should pay attention to:
✅ These locations attract Malays who are active from morning till midnight, ensuring a continuous flow of people.
✅ These locations are highly sought-after, and any vacant shops are usually rented out within a week.
Details of these locations are provided in the images below ⬇️⬇️⬇️
