Annual Fact File 2011
Textile
industry contributes about 60% to the total export
earnings of the country, accounts for 46% of the total
manufacturing and provides employment to 38% of the
manufacturing labour force. The availability of basic raw
material for textile industry, cotton, has played a
principal role in the growth of the industry. Pakistan is
4th largest producer and 3rd largest consumer of cotton.
The textile and clothing industry will continue to be the
driving force of Pakistan’s economic growth; as there is
no substitute industry or service sector that has the
potential to benefit the economy with foreign currency
earnings and new jobs creation. Pakistan’s textile
industry had proved its strength in the global market
during the last four decades. It has proved its strength
in post-quota era by sustaining its position and growth.
