Abstract: Malle's conjecture is a conjecture on the asymptotic distribution of number fields with bounded discriminant. We propose a general framework to prove Malle's conjecture for compositum of number fields based on known examples of Malle's conjecture and good uniformity estimates. By this method, we prove Malle's conjecture for $S_n\times A$ number fields for $n = 3,4,5$ and $A$ in an infinite family of abelian groups. As a corollary, we show that Malle's conjecture is true for $C_3\wr C_2$ in its $S_9$ representation, whereas its $S_6$ representation is the first counter example of Malle's conjecture given by Kl\"uners.
