That was explains why for the first time in history protests in solidarity of Palestinians facing genocide were suppressed. Unprecedented.

Palestinians are Imran's fans.

CPEC 2 brings Chinese textile units, and a new rival for local mills​

Sialkot industrialists cite political instability, higher taxes, rising energy prices as drivers of high business cost

LAHORE: It seems like Pakistan's so-called 'vibrant' textile sector is on its way towards a modest improvement in terms of earning export revenues for calendar year 2025; however, for 2026, a majority of textile pundits are sensing a declining trend due to tariff reshufflings and strategic shifts by global players, particularly the United States under Trump 2.0 and the People's Republic of China, as both seek to protect their domestic industries.

According to official statistics, during the first eleven months of calendar year 2025, textile exports posted a growth of around 15.7%. The sector earned $17.85 billion during the period, compared to $15.43 billion in the corresponding period of the previous calendar year.

Year-end numbers indicate that 2025 offered some breathing space to Pakistan's largest export-oriented sector, which contributes nearly 60% to total exports and employs millions directly and indirectly.

Stronger global demand in the early part of the year, relative stability in domestic production, and improved order inflows from traditional markets helped textile exporters recover from the slowdown witnessed in previous years.

However, industry stakeholders argue that the growth remained largely value-driven rather than volume-led, reflecting higher prices and cost pass-throughs instead of a fundamental structural turnaround.

Another notable development in 2025 was the entry of Chinese textile groups into Pakistan under CPEC 2. Mian Waqas Hanif, a mid-scale textile exporter familiar with these investments, said Chinese companies are attracted by Pakistan's relatively lower tariffs compared to China and India, and a few groups have already set up units with the aim of exporting finished goods to the US market. He warned this could emerge as a serious competitive challenge for local mills, many of which lack a complete textile supply chain and depend heavily on imported raw materials.

He added that Chinese firms possess deep expertise and integrated supply chains, enabling them to source raw materials from China and operate more efficiently in Pakistan. However, he stressed that such investments should be encouraged only if they help bridge gaps in Pakistan's textile value chain.

Allowing Chinese companies to produce intermediate products locally, which Pakistani firms currently import, could reduce production costs, improve competitiveness, and conserve foreign exchange, he said.

I like threads like these. Pakistan needs voices from the opposition to make the ruling classes behave, even if I know why the posters above are so excited: They need something to cheer for after their Messiah Khan's self-dug grave is getting deeper and deeper while he keeps digging more. But good to have the heat on the government.

BTW, my own family textile mill is still standing on its two-acre in the prestigious S.I.T.E location in Karachi since 1951 [my then teenage dad's hand writing is still on a pillar from 1951] and making good money while employing hundreds of workers. Businesses go up and down. Businesses close and new ones open. Where I live in America, the region is no longer 'the textile capital of the world' for decades. Alternate industries rise.

 

[ghazi52]

Nearly all stakeholders in the textile sector fear that without policy support, rationalisation of energy costs, and strategic market diversification, the industry may struggle to even match export revenues in 2026.

They warned that the sector is now fighting on multiple fronts for survival and that the government should impose an emergency-like response to avert any decline in export earnings, cautioning that failure to act could seriously undermine the sector's contribution to employment, foreign exchange inflows, and overall economic stability at a time when Pakistan can least afford another external shock.
