Experts attributed this growth to improved operational efficiency and rising international demand for Pakistani textiles.

Pakistan’s government and trade bodies continue efforts to promote exports and attract foreign investment in the sector. These measures aim to maintain growth momentum and strengthen the country’s position in international textile markets.
