Islamabad, 6 June 2025: In a significant boost to its industrial and export credentials, Pakistan has officially entered the U.S. Top 10 Tire Exporters list for Truck and Bus Radial (TBR) tires in the first quarter of 2025, marking a major milestone for the nation’s manufacturing sector.
According to official U.S. trade data, Pakistan recorded an exceptional 76.3% year-on-year growth in TBR tire exports, shipping 111,973 units to the American market between January and March 2025.
This surge, up from 63,517 units during the same period last year, has propelled Pakistan to the 10th spot among the top global suppliers.

With a declared average unit value of $122.82, Pakistan has emerged as one of the most competitively priced exporters in the cohort, reinforcing its appeal in a market defined by both cost efficiency and product reliability.
The achievement comes despite a modest 1.1% overall dip in U.S. TBR tire imports, which stood at 5.37 million units in Q1 2025, slightly down from 5.43 million units a year earlier. In this broader context, Pakistan distinguished itself as one of the few countries registering sharp and consistent growth.
At the forefront of the list, Thailand maintained its dominance in the U.S. market, although its shipments declined significantly dropping by 33.9%, from nearly 2.5 million units to 1.65 million units.
Vietnam, climbing to second place, exported 870,212 units, reflecting a 13.8% annual increase. Japan followed closely, registering a 49.7% gain, with exports reaching 653,887 units.
Among other key performers, Cambodia posted the most dramatic expansion, more than tripling its exports with a 226.1% increase, rising from 170,652 to 556,478 units.

Industry analysts view Pakistan’s entrance into the U.S. Top 10 Tire Exporters as a sign of its maturing automotive supply capabilities and a reflection of sustained investments in export-quality production.
The development is also seen as a positive indicator for trade diversification, particularly as global supply chains adjust to evolving logistics and tariff frameworks.
As Pakistan cements its position within the U.S. Top 10 Tire Exporters, trade experts anticipate further upward momentum, driven by favorable pricing, improved production standards, and enhanced trade diplomacy.
