Pakistan's textile industry remains a major economic driver

The exhibition takes place against the background of the textile industry's considerable importance to Pakistan's economy. According to industry statistics published by the organizers, the sector contributes approximately 8.5% to the country's GDP and accounts for nearly 60% of total exports. Textile manufacturing also represents a substantial share of industrial employment.

Garments, knitwear and home textiles are among the industry's important export segments. For manufacturers, investment in modern machinery, production efficiency, product quality and sustainable processes remains an important factor in maintaining competitiveness in international markets.

IGATEX Pakistan provides a platform for technology suppliers and textile manufacturers to discuss new equipment, production requirements and investment opportunities.

The exhibition will be open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Visitor registration is available through the event's official website.
