UEM EDGENTA BERHAD Integrated Annual Report 2025 98 OUTLOOK In 2026, Malaysia’s infrastructure sector is expected to remain resilient, underpinned by sustained public and private investment under the 13th Malaysia Plan. Highway upgrades, lifecycle maintenance, and the development of strategic road corridors to enhance regional connectivity will be key areas of focus. Continued growth in air travel is also expected to support airport upgrades, including pavement rehabilitation and airside improvements to accommodate higher passenger and cargo volumes. Sustainability and operational efficiency will remain key priorities across both road and airport infrastructure. Digital technologies will serve as an important lever in achieving these objectives, with smart asset management systems and mechanised delivery models utilised to uphold higher standards of safety and performance, alongside the adoption of recycled materials to advance circular economy practices. Our Infrastructure Services Division is well positioned to meet these demands and capture emerging opportunities by leveraging mechanised capabilities, digital enablement through RAMS, in-house recycled asphalt production, and research-driven sustainable pavement solutions. The Smart Paving Machine System will further enhance paving precision and efficiency while reducing material waste, supporting consistent quality and cost control.
