Manufacturing Sector Contribution to GDP in Pakistan (1990-2022)

Pakistan’s manufacturing sector has faced fluctuations, with an initial decline from 15.5% in 1990 to 9.1% in 2000. However, subsequent growth in textiles and consumer goods production led to a recovery, reaching 13.8% in 2022. The sector has benefited from government incentives aimed at industrial growth, though challenges like infrastructure and energy costs continue to impact productivity. Pakistan’s manufacturing share remains critical to its export economy, especially as demand for textile exports sustains this sector’s role in GDP.
