Introduction
The rate of growth of the instrumentation and controls industry in Malaysia can easily be estimated from the amount of capital investment over the last few years in the process, manufacturing and building industries - about RM5 billion annually. The annual demand for instrumentation and controls equipment and services is expected to reach RM1 billion shortly. The major growth areas will be in the process and energy industries, the manufacturing automation industry, the industrial laboratory, research and QC industries, the educational industry, the building automation industry and the marine industry. We are confident that ICSM will pay a crucial role in the continued growth and development of the instrumentation and controls industry in Malaysia.
