What Pakistan makes — and why buyers source it here
Six sectors that already supply the world. For each one: what is made, which cities make it, the duty and cost position, and the standards an established exporter already works to. Every figure is attributed and dated so you can check it.
Leather & Leather Goods
Raw hide to finished glove inside one country, across roughly 675 tanneries — with the environmental infrastructure European brands audit for.
Read the sector
Sports Goods
The city that makes most of the world's hand-stitched footballs — around 2,400 firms, FIFA-certified capability, and a labour-compliance record that stands up to audit.
Read the sector
Pharmaceuticals
A PKR 1 trillion industry with WHO-GMP capacity, exports up 34%, and generic manufacturing at a cost base most regulated markets cannot match.
Read the sector
Agriculture & Food
$5 billion of food a year — basmati with a protected identity, mango and citrus in a counter-seasonal window, and seafood from two coastlines.
Read the sector
Handicrafts & Artisan Goods
Living craft traditions — Multan blue pottery, Sindhi ajrak, hand-knotted carpets — made by named workshops, at volumes a retail buyer can actually place.
