Pakistan textile exports posted fresh gains in FY2024–25, with towel shipments reaching 226,335 metric tons worth $1.082 billion, according to the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics.
That is up 2.61% from last year’s 222,720 metric tons valued at $1.055 billion.
Pakistan textile exports: ready-made garments drive the surge
The standout performer was ready-made garments. Exports jumped 15.85%. More than 80 million dozen garments earned $4.128 billion. A year earlier, the tally was 75 million dozen worth $3.563 billion. The figures show buyers are placing larger orders in value-added apparel, not only basic textiles.
The trend points to steady recovery in manufacturing. Factories are moving higher up the value chain. Towels held their ground in volume and value. Garments did the heavy lifting in overall earnings.
Industry watchers say the shift toward stitched products supports jobs and foreign exchange inflows. It also helps exporters build long-term relationships with global brands. Consistency in quality and delivery is key to keeping this momentum.
Policymakers can reinforce the gains with reliable utilities, faster tax refunds, and smooth imports of inputs. Stable costs help firms price competitively. Predictable policies help them plan new lines and expand capacity.
The latest data underline resilience in a tough market. Buyers are rewarding reliability and product variety. With towels steady and apparel rising fast, Pakistan textile exports are positioned to defend recent gains and look for further growth in the months ahead.
