IT Exports Grow as Pakistani Tech Sector Reaches Global Markets

Pakistan’s IT sector is making steady progress in exports and digital business, helping the country gain greater access to international markets.

During the fiscal year 2025-26, Pakistan’s ICT export remittances increased by 19.7% year-on-year. The sector also recorded a trade surplus of $2.91 billion, making an important contribution to the national economy.

Growing IT activities have also led to the registration of 872 new IT and IT services companies with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP).

Pakistani technology companies, digital agencies and e-commerce businesses are increasingly expanding into global markets. More than 20 Pakistani companies recently participated in an international exhibition held in Saudi Arabia, showcasing their products and services.

The Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) is also playing an important role in promoting Pakistan’s IT sector, digital economy and investment opportunities.

Improved financial infrastructure is helping businesses receive payments in international currencies and manage cross-border funds more efficiently.

The growth in IT exports, new companies and digital infrastructure is providing a stronger foundation for Pakistan’s digital economy and helping local businesses compete in global markets.
