According to the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS), exports totaled $230.067 million, up from $179.472 million last year. This growth reflects strong global demand and improved production capabilities.
In terms of volume, cement exports rose by 39.91%. This jump took exports from 4.63 million metric tons to 6.48 million metric tons. March 2025 alone saw a significant year-on-year increase of 41.30%, with exports reaching $22.004 million compared to $15.572 million in March 2024.
Moreover, the exports increased by 10.17% from February’s total of $19.972 million. This increase in cement exports contributes to broader improvements in Pakistan’s trade performance. Overall exports from July to March 2024-25 rose by 7.69%, reaching $24.690 billion.
Meanwhile, imports also rose by 6.33%, totaling $42.589 billion during the same period.
