Pakistan’s exports to the United States increased substantially in July 2025 to $560 million, up 40% on a year earlier when they were $401 million. The Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) said the advance was spurred primarily by high demand for textile items in the US marketplace, and carryover shipments from June.
Khurram Mukhtar, Patron-in-Chief of the Pakistan Textile Exporters Association, clarified that the increase in textile exports was also due to the delayed shipments from the previous fiscal year. He further added that US retailers regard Pakistan as a good partner because it has an entire textile value chain, which makes it directly comparable to global titans such as China and India.
