Pakistan’s textile exports showed a remarkable surge in July FY26, reaching $1.68 billion, according to official data. This marks a 32% year-on-year (YoY) rise and a 10% increase month-on-month (MoM), highlighting the sector’s resilience despite global trade challenges.
The strongest growth came from knitwear exports, which climbed 46% YoY, followed by garments at 38% and bedwear at 41%. Industry experts attribute this performance to a shift in global demand toward Pakistan amid regional trade slowdowns and political uncertainties in competing markets.
Analysts believe the textile industry will continue to benefit from favorable global demand, government incentives, and a relatively competitive position in the region. However, sustaining growth will require consistent policy support and investment in technology and value-added products.
