This paper examines the contribution of batik industry to the national economy through the idea of inter-industry transactions. Batik industry is believed will contribute to the Malaysian economy through their great performances on the textile products in the manufacturing sector, the development of tourism with being a high-valued heritage product, and even, as a critical contributor to the total Malaysian craft sales. The local batik entrepreneurs also requires the role of local traders in the transaction of raw materials for producing batik from abroad to the local market. These situations explained that batik is not only plays a vital role in fostering heritage and cultural, but it has economic values via its contribution to the other production sectors in economy. However, it is difficult to measure the economic contribution of the batik industry because there is no specific data about this industry in the SME Annual Report and the Malaysian Handicraft Annual Report. Thus, we used a data on Malaysian Input-Output Table 2010 that provides the data of batik making to measure the industrial linkages of batik industry with other production sector in Malaysian economic structure. It is found that Malaysian batik has backward linkages with other production sectors. This result implies that stimulating growth in the output of the batik industry would benefit to other sector with positive spillover effects due to the higher demand on the output of other sectors to be used as inputs by batik firms in producing batik.
