چکیده
The textile industry is the most important sector in Pakistan’s economy. Based on the availability of raw cotton, the industry provides the largest employment (38% of the total employment) and is also its largest foreign exchange earner. It contributes 68% of total exports, 46% of total manufacturing, 8.5% of total GDP, 31% of total investment and 12% of total market capitalization. Over the years, Pakistan has emerged as a major supplier of cotton textiles in world markets with a 31% market share in world yarn trade and 8% share in cloth. In the apparel sector, however, it has a low share of about 1% in world trade.
