Pakistan’s Industrial Growth Accelerates, Large-Scale Manufacturing Rises

Pakistan’s industrial sector has shown strong growth, with large-scale manufacturing (LSM) recording a significant improvement during the current financial year.

The Quantum Index of Manufacturing rose to 121.65 during July-May FY2025-26, compared with 115.02 during the same period last year. The LSM sector recorded annual growth of 5.77% during the period.

Improved performance across several industrial sectors is helping increase production and manufacturing capacity in Pakistan. With support and investment facilitation from the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC), the industrial sector is receiving greater policy support.

The growth is expected to create new opportunities for investment, boost exports, increase production capacity and strengthen economic activity. The rising manufacturing activity reflects progress in Pakistan’s industrial sector and supports sustainable economic growth.
