Islamabad: Pakistan’s footwear industry has shown remarkable growth, exporting shoes worth over Rs. 35 billion in the past eight months, according to the latest trade data.
The footwear sector witnessed a 21% increase in exports compared to the previous year, with a significant demand for leather and synthetic shoes in international markets. Key buyers of Pakistani footwear include Europe, the Middle East, and the United States.
Experts attribute this surge to improved manufacturing standards, competitive pricing, and government incentives for exporters. The industry is expected to continue its upward trend, further boosting Pakistan’s economy.
