Record July: Pakistan's Textile Exports Stun the Region

10 August 2026

Fashion isn't just the catwalk, it's the factory floor, and that's where the big news is. Per Fibre2Fashion's analysis, Pakistan's textile exports hit a record in July 2026, a sharp rebound after a flat fiscal year, with cotton arrivals also at record levels.

The real story is competitive: Bangladesh's garment factories are running well below capacity on gas shortages, prompting global buyers to re-run the maths on cotton-heavy South Asian sourcing. Fibre2Fashion notes the next few months, August data, LNG supply and rupee stability, will decide whether allocations scale into a durable shift.

Why it matters for your wardrobe: textiles are roughly half of Pakistan's total exports; healthy mills keep wholesale fabric prices in check, the same prices that feed the retail lawn rates we track weekly in the Pakistan Fashion Price Index. An export boom is usually good news for the home market too.
