Pakistan Manufacturing Sector Grows 4.08%
Pakistan's manufacturing sector grew 4.08 percent in the first quarter of the 2025-26 financial year, driven by strong performance in automobiles, cement, and food industries. This growth reflects a recovery in industrial activity after previous challenges and indicates growing confidence among manufacturers. Experts say this trend will help boost overall economic stability and support long-term development plans across multiple sectors.
In September 2025, production increased by 2.69 percent year-on-year, while August saw a 2.05 percent rise. Industries such as garments, electrical equipment, and transport machinery maintained steady growth, contributing to the overall expansion. Analysts believe that consistent performance in these sectors will enhance Pakistan's competitiveness in regional markets and encourage investment in manufacturing infrastructure.
