Pakistan's Readymade Garment Exports Hit Highest Level in FY26

Pakistan’s readymade garment exports climbed to a record $4.18 billion in FY2025-26, marking a 5.5 percent year-on-year increase and setting a new all-time high for the country’s value-added textile sector.

This is almost as much as Pakistan's IT exports of record $4.6 billion reported during the same period,

The latest figures show that readymade garment exports have more than doubled over the past decade from $1.97 billion in FY2015-16 to $4.18 billion in FY2025-26.

According to Topline Securities, the sector recorded a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8 percent during the 10-year period.

Pakistan is still trying to shift toward value-added textile exports. This could help generate higher export earnings compared with raw cotton, yarn, and other semi-processed textile products.

The country seeks to boost foreign exchange earnings, improve export competitiveness, and reduce reliance on low-value textile exports.
