KARACHI:
Pakistan's textile exports surged to a three-year high of $1.6 billion in September 2025, marking a strong rebound driven by robust demand for value-added categories and renewed global orders, according to provisional data released by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP).

Brokerage house Topline Securities reported that knitted apparel exports alone touched an all-time high of $485 million, underscoring the strength of Pakistan's value-added segment. The textile sector accounted for nearly 60% of the country's total goods exports during the month, which reaffirmed its role as the backbone of Pakistan's export economy.

The latest surge comes amid a gradual post-pandemic recovery, stronger trade linkages, and a relatively stable exchange rate. Yet, industry experts warn that persistent challenges such as high energy costs, expensive financing and cotton supply disruptions continue to weigh on long-term competitiveness.

A recent report of Taurus Securities projected that profitability across Pakistan's listed textile companies would rise by nearly 3.1 times year-on-year in the first quarter of FY26, supported by higher export volumes, lower borrowing costs, and Pakistan's competitive edge following US tariffs on regional peers.

The brokerage said margins were likely to expand by 11 percentage points year-on-year, citing cost control measures, renewable energy adoption, and a stable rupee-dollar parity. Taurus noted that textile exports rose 6% year-on-year in 1QFY26, aided by a 56% jump in local cotton production.

Among major players, Gul Ahmed Textile Mills is expected to post a profit after tax of Rs2.4 billion, up 6% from last year; Nishat Mills is projected to earn Rs1.3 billion, up 41%; and Interloop Limited is expected to record a tenfold increase in quarterly profit to Rs2.5 billion, driven by strong apparel and denim sales.
