Non-textile exports surge 18pc in four months

Exports of non-textile products rose by 17.66 per cent to $4.73 billion in the first four months of the current fiscal year, up from $4.02bn during the same period last year, largely driven by the growth of value-added products. The main driver of non-textile product exports is raw food items and a few value-added products, including leather, footwear and engineering, during 4MFY25, from a year ago, according to data compiled by the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics. Non-textile product exports climbed by 24.95pc in FY24, reaching $14.02bn from $11.22bn the previous year. Exports of non-textile items continue to expand in the current fiscal year, building on the previous year’s pace. The growth is a healthy sign of getting more orders from the international market.
