Press Release

Malaysia SaaS Market is Expected to Register a CAGR of 18.48% Through 2030

Digital Transformation & Cloud Adoption and Growing E-Commerce & Digital Payments are likely to propel the market during the forecast period.


According to TechSci Research report, “Malaysia SaaS Market – By Region, Competition, Forecast and Opportunities, 2020-2030F”, Malaysia SaaS Market was valued at USD 1010.71 Million in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 2,360.16 Million by 2030 with a CAGR of 18.48% during the forecast period.

Malaysia's rapid digital transformation is a significant driver of the Software as a Service (SaaS) market. Businesses across industries are increasingly adopting cloud-based solutions to improve efficiency, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. The Malaysian government has been actively promoting digitalization through initiatives like MyDIGITAL, which aims to enhance cloud adoption and position Malaysia as a leading digital economy by 2030.

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), which form the backbone of Malaysia's economy, are also shifting towards SaaS solutions. Traditional software requires significant investment in hardware, IT infrastructure, and maintenance, which can be costly for SMEs. SaaS eliminates these barriers, allowing businesses to access advanced tools without heavy upfront investments. Cloud-based applications enable remote work, real-time collaboration, and automation, which have become essential in today’s competitive business landscape.

The rise of hybrid and remote work models has accelerated SaaS adoption in Malaysia. With companies embracing flexible work environments, cloud-based solutions like Microsoft 365, Zoom, and Slack have become essential for seamless operations. As more businesses integrate cloud technologies into their operations, the SaaS market in Malaysia is expected to witness steady growth

Based on Enterprise Type, The Large Enterprise held the largest market share in 2024.  Large enterprises dominate the Malaysia SaaS market due to their financial capacity, scalability requirements, and focus on digital transformation. Unlike SMEs, large corporations have the resources to invest in enterprise-grade SaaS solutions that enhance efficiency, security, and automation across multiple departments.

One of the key drivers is the need for scalable and integrated software solutions. Large organizations require comprehensive SaaS platforms for enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), human resource management (HRM), and cybersecurity. Solutions from global providers like SAP, Salesforce, Oracle, and Microsoft cater specifically to large enterprises, offering advanced functionalities such as AI-driven analytics, automation, and cloud security.

Another reason for enterprise dominance is regulatory compliance and data security. Large companies, particularly in finance, healthcare, and government sectors, must comply with stringent data protection laws such as Malaysia’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). As a result, they prefer SaaS solutions with advanced security features, encryption, and compliance monitoring. Moreover, large enterprises are at the forefront of digital transformation initiatives. Government-backed programs such as MyDIGITAL and Industry4WRD encourage corporations to adopt cloud technologies, further accelerating SaaS adoption. These companies also invest in AI-powered automation, big data analytics, and Internet of Things (IoT) integration, all of which require robust SaaS infrastructure.

Based on region, East Malaysia, comprising Sabah and Sarawak, is emerging as the fastest-growing region in Malaysia’s Software as a Service (SaaS) market due to several key factors, including government initiatives, increasing digitalization, rising cloud adoption, and expanding business sectors.

The Malaysian government has been actively promoting digital transformation in East Malaysia through initiatives like MyDIGITAL and the Malaysia Digital Economy Blueprint. Programs such as JENDELA (National Digital Network Plan) aim to enhance internet connectivity in rural and semi-urban areas, enabling businesses and SMEs to adopt cloud-based SaaS solutions. Additionally, the Sarawak Digital Economy Strategy 2030 focuses on increasing the use of cloud computing, AI, and automation across industries, further accelerating SaaS adoption.

East Malaysia has witnessed a surge in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and tech startups, particularly in sectors like e-commerce, tourism, and agriculture. These businesses require cost-effective, scalable, and cloud-based software solutions to manage operations efficiently. SaaS platforms offering e-commerce management, digital payments, and customer relationship management (CRM) are in high demand as more businesses shift online.

Improved broadband connectivity and cloud infrastructure are driving SaaS adoption in East Malaysia. Investments in 5G deployment, cloud data centers, and fiber-optic networks are enabling businesses to access high-speed internet, which is essential for running SaaS applications. This infrastructure development is bridging the digital gap between East and West Malaysia, fostering a more inclusive digital economy.
