Malaysia's paint and construction industries are going through a stabilisation phase, according to the government's Department for Statistics. Department figures show the paint industry grew by 3% in both 2006 and 2007 and is projected to grow by around 5% each year from now until 2011. The department also ranks the paint industry outside the 10 most important sectors within the country (alongside palm oil, liquefied natural gas and timber products).
