The textile industry in Pakistan plays a vital role in the country’s economy, contributing significantly to its growth and development. With Pakistan being the fourth-largest producer of cotton globally and the ninth-largest exporter of textile goods, the industry holds immense importance. The textile sector encompasses the entire value chain, from cotton production and processing to manufacturing finished products such as fabrics, made-ups, and apparel.One of the key contributions of the textile industry is its impact on employment and industrial value-added products. It provides jobs to approximately 40% of the industrial workforce in the country, making it a significant source of livelihood for many. Moreover, the sector contributes nearly one-fourth of the industrial value-added products and accounts for an average share of about 60% in national exports.
