According to data from the State Bank of Pakistan, the USA remained Pakistan’s top export destination in the fiscal year 2023-24. Shipments to the USA totaled $5.43 billion, although this marked an 8.4% decrease from the previous year’s $5.93 billion. Despite the drop, the USA still leads as the primary market for Pakistani exports.
China was the second-largest destination for Pakistani exports, with shipments reaching $2.71 billion. This represented a significant 33.6% increase from the previous year, highlighting the growing trade relationship between Pakistan and China.
The United Kingdom ranked third among Pakistan’s export destinations. Exports to the UK amounted to $2.01 billion, showing a modest 2.2% increase from the previous year’s $1.97 billion. This steady growth reflects the ongoing demand for Pakistani goods in the UK market.
The United Arab Emirates, particularly Dubai, secured the fourth position in terms of Pakistani exports. The value of exports to the UAE was $1.71 billion, reflecting a notable 28.8% growth compared to the previous year. This substantial increase underscores the strengthening trade ties between Pakistan and the UAE.
Overall, these figures highlight the dynamic nature of Pakistan’s export markets. While the USA remains the top destination, the significant growth in exports to China and the UAE demonstrates the expanding reach of Pakistani products. The steady increase in exports to the UK further supports Pakistan’s strong presence in traditional markets. These trends point to the potential for continued growth and diversification in Pakistan’s export sector.
