A study of Silterra estimated that each dollar of operating expenditure spent by the semiconductor manufacturers generates about ffty cents of revenue for the supporting ecosystem, e.g. service providers to the semiconductor manufacturers, ranging from suppliers of specialty gases to equipment part cleaners. To provide a complete picture of the full benefts of building the semiconductor industry in Malaysia, we include these spinoff business opportunities in our GNI impact estimates. Spinoff business opportunities will provide incremental GNI of RM3.2 billion and create 25,000 jobs. The cumulative funding required from 2010 to 2020 is RM2.5 billion private.
Business opportunities in solar are based on estimates that between 15 and 20 percent of operating expenses from the solar EPP are spent on supporting industries, such as process equipment, sand mining, glass, aluminium, silane gas and wire saws. We would also work with multinational companies such as Applied Materials (equipment manufacturer) to transfer technologies to SMEs or to develop local supplier programmes. An additional RM8 billion GNI and 11,500 jobs will be created on goods and services from supporting industries. The cumulative funding required from 2010 to 2020 is RM5.8 billion in private investment and RM0.7 billion in public investment.
Business opportunities in industrial electronics will concentrate on strengthening the supply chain and the Original Design Manufacturers (ODM) in Malaysia, especially for the RFID sector. With new RFID applications planned in the future such as contactless payment and asset tracking, more local companies and shared facilities, such as frequency simulation labs, would be set up to support the growth of the sector. We estimate the GNI impact to be RM165 million and create over 200 jobs. The cumulative funding required from 2010 to 2020 is RM6.9 million in private investment; no public funding is required.
