Pakistan’s manufacturing sector has surged to a 37-month high, marking a confident beginning to Fiscal Year 2026.
This milestone was highlighted by Finance Minister’s Advisor Khurram Schehzad in a post on X.
He said Pakistan’s industrial revival is gaining momentum, with Large-Scale Manufacturing recording a robust 8.99 percent year-on-year growth in July this year. He further said Large-Scale Manufacturing also grew 2.6 percent on a Month-on-Month basis.
Key high-growth sectors include: furniture 87 percent, automobiles 58 percent, other transport 46 percent, apparel 25 percent, cement 17 percent, paper 15 percent, petroleum 13 percent, and food seven percent.
Textiles, Pharmaceuticals and IT Equipment also showed resilience.
This broad-based industrial growth reflects a strengthening economy, rising consumer demand, and growing confidence in Pakistan's manufacturing landscape.
With multiple industries returning to expansion driven by a decline in the cost of capital and energy, along with shifts in taxation policy, the outlook points to sustained economic recovery and resilience in the months ahead.
