Abstract

Economic agglomeration plays significant roles in uplifting the industrial properties market. The setting includes various magnetic indicators that attract the investors locally and globally. Recent property market reports reveal a significant overhang of unsold industrial properties, highlighting a pressing need to enhance the investment appeal of this sector. Addressing these overhang issues is crucial for revitalizing the industrial properties market and sustaining economic growth. This research aims to identify the magnetic indicators of economic agglomeration within Malaysia’s industrial investment environment. Participants were purposively selected from both public and private agencies involved in industrial investment. A focus group discussion with fifteen industry experts was conducted to determine the factors that create an optimal investment environment. Thematic analysis was then applied to the discussion data, enabling the identification and categorization of key themes related to magnetic indicators that influence industrial investment. From the discussion, nineteen magnetic indicators were identified. The provision of infrastructure, strategic location, supply of raw material and labor are among the main magnetic indicators that were identified. These findings provide a basis for the related government agencies, local government as well as developers in formulating an economic agglomeration of industrial properties that contribute to the economic growth of Malaysia.
