Textile Sector Recovery in Progress
While the annual growth is a positive sign for Pakistan’s export-driven economy, the figures indicate that the sector has yet to fully recover from its FY22 highs. The current export volume remains $1.42 billion short of that year’s record performance.
Analysts suggest that consistent export policy, energy support for industries, and global demand recovery will be key factors in pushing Pakistan’s textile sector back to peak levels.
