In a major development for Pakistan’s tech and retail sectors, Apple Inc. has announced plans to open its first official retail store in Pakistan by the end of 2025. The move marks a significant milestone for the country’s rapidly expanding technology market and signals Apple’s growing focus on South Asia.
According to industry insiders, Apple is currently in the final stages of location selection, with Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad being considered as potential sites for the flagship store. The upcoming outlet will offer the complete range of Apple products, official repair services, and customer support — a first for Pakistani consumers who have long relied on third-party resellers.
Government officials have welcomed the decision, noting that it could attract further foreign investment and create high-skilled job opportunities in the retail and technology sectors.
Tech analysts say Apple’s entry into Pakistan reflects the country’s rising smartphone adoption rate and increasing digital economy, making it a lucrative new market for global tech brands.
The store is expected to open its doors to the public by December 2025, coinciding with Apple’s regional retail expansion plans across Asia.
