Pakistan’s mobile phone production rose sharply by 55% in September 2025, reaching 3.01 million units. This figure also marked a 40% increase compared to September last year. Analysts say the jump reflects recovering demand after low sales in September 2024 caused by pre-budget buying.
The surge followed delays in consumer purchases, as many waited for new model launches. Leading brands like Samsung, Xiaomi, and Infinix introduced devices such as Galaxy S25 FE, Redmi 15 series, and Infinix Note 40X 5G. These releases triggered strong replacement and upgrade demand nationwide.
