OVERVIEW:Pakistan’s textile industry ranks amongst the top in the world. Cotton based textiles contribute over 60% to the total exports, accounts for 46% of the total manufacturing and provide employment to 38% manufacturing labor force. The availability of cheap labor and basic raw cotton as raw material for textile industry has played the principal role in the growth of the Cotton Textile Industry in Pakistan.

HISTORY OF TEXTILE INDUSTRY:

1950:• Pakistan's industrialization began in the 1950s

with the textile industry at its center• PIDC came into being which had the main

objective of industrializing the country in major fields.

• The modern development of the sector started in 1953 with the inauguration of the Valika textile Mill at Karachi.

1960’s• By mid sixties there were about 180 units of

textiles bleaching, printing and processing units, mostly situated in Karachi and Punjab.

• New private investment began with a highly protected home market

• Newly established mills were based upon imported technology but there was a lack of technical staff and shortages of capital

1970’s• By 1970-71 there was 113 textile units and the

industry had 2,605 thousand spindles and 30 thousand looms

• After the separation of East Pakistan Cotton Export Corporation of Pakistan was established which meant that most of the private sector work was taken over by the state

• The textile industry suffered heavy losses because the export of cotton was controlled by the CEC

1980’s• The eighties brought a relief to the textile industry

due to the boom in international market and industry friendly policies of the government.

• There was a rapid growth in spinning sector. • Till 1980-81 spinning continued to expand.

1990’s• The number of units rose to 440 in 1996-97• World demand for good quality, wide width

fabrics grew and replacement and a modernization process started.

• Machinery for producing garments and made-ups was also freed from import duty. As a result, a huge expansion in the spinning sector took place in the first five years of the 1990s.

1999 to 2000• Textile exports in 1999 were $5.2 billion and rose

to become $10.5 billion by 2007.• Textile exports managed to increase at a very

decent growth of 16% in 2006• Textile exports share in total export of Pakistan

has declined from 67% in 1997 to 55% in 2008, as exports of other textile sectors grew

2009:• The textile industry employs almost 40 percent

(2008-09) of the industrial workforce• textile industry is being hit hard due to ongoing

energy crisis, depriving the gas supply to the textile units for three days a week.

• Pakistan’s cotton cultivation has declined due to several factors ranging from cultivation of traditional varieties and via traditional methods, poor marketing, and failure in making timely payments to cotton producers

2010• (APTMA) had prepared a based report for the

federal government in which it has been projected that the textile industry exports would cross over $16 billion compared to its present level of around $8 billion

• Significant changes to the general sales tax (GST) on industrial sector including textiles

2011:• Textile exports stood at $12.5 billion from July 2010 to

May 2011• Energy crisis leaves Pakistan textiles in tatters

2012 TO 2014:• Pakistan’s $13.8 billion textile industry is struggling to

survive a critical shortage of energy to run its plants.• 10 percent of the spinning mills and fabric printing units

have shut down, and half of the remaining plants are struggling to survive

• thousands of textile workers poured out onto the streets of the city, burned tires, and shouted slogans against the government.

SIGNIFICANCE IN ECONOMIC ZONE OF PAKISTAN:

• Pakistan’s economy relies heavily on its cotton and textile sectors.

• cotton-textile sectors account for 11 percent of GDP and 60 percent of export receipts.

• In 2008-09 contributed 60% to the country’s total exports, which amounts to around 5.2 billion US dollars.

• Textile industry itself constituted about 4% of the total size of the economy.

FACTORS AFFECTING TEXTILE INDUSTRY

• PROBLEMS FACED BY INDUSTRY• CLIMATIC CONDITION • TRAINING• EDUCATION

• Lack Of Research And Development In Cotton Sector

• Lack of Modernize equipment• Finance bill to burden industry further• Increasing cost of production• Internal issues Pose a Larger Threat for Pakistan’s

Textile Industry.• Energy crisis• Lack of new investment.

PROBLEMS FACED BY THE INDUSTRY

CLIMATIC CONDITION: Although Pakistan has the ideal climatic conditions for the growth of cotton providing a factor advantage to the textile industry, but it is also quite vulnerable to pesticides that can lower the yield per hector.

The textile sector is largely dependent on the supply of raw material of the agricultural sector and hence whatever happens to the agricultural sector like floods will adversely affect the textile industry rendering it even more vulnerable to environmental conditions.

TRAINING:Limited availability of trained technical staff to maintain and run machinery at full efficiency is a constraint upon the development of Pakistan’s textile industry.

This shortfall is partly due to a lack of technical education facilities.

Some of the developments in the textile industry include: Advances in ring spinning, computerized dyeing and finishing, computer-aided designing , manufacturing and developming retailing links hence, all these demand new and greater skills and Pakistan lacks it.

EDUCATION• Education is essential for the development of the

textile industry. Even if the basic factors are present, unless value-addition is not done on them, they will not be productive enough.

• Even if there is not enough production a country could still manage through research and development.

• Survey shows that technical manpower need in the industry is 12,750 grads. But up to 2003 the available graduates were 7,950.

THREATS: New competitors: Pakistan is facing new competitors in textile

sector such as Bangladesh, Vietnam and Turkey. Though we cannot avoid competition but we can always stay ahead of them by reforming our strategies and educating our entrepreneurs so as to move one step forward in every aspect.

Phasing out of quota system: As the quota system is ruled out by WTO, there is

a threat by the Chinese and Indian manufacturers to gain most of the market share. We have high costs, low labor productivity and inefficient production processes.

STATISTICS• Textile industry invested around $548.997 million

during July-May 2013-14 to replace the rundown machinery.

TEXTILE INDUSTRIES NEWS

Textile industry of Pakistan worst hit by power cuts “The energy crisis has forced the textile mills to

close their units, especially in Punjab the industry is under severe pressure. Chairman APTMA Punjab, Shahzad Ali Khan, said daily electricity load shedding has increased to 12 hours.”

The Pakistan textile industry contributes more than 60 percent (US $ 9.6 billion) to the country’s total exports. However, currently this industry is facing great decline in its

growth rate. The major reasons for this decline can be the global recession, internal security concerns, the high cost of production due to increase in the energy costs etc.

‘’ A spokesman for the All Pakistan Textile Mills Association (APTMA) claimed that 60 to70

percent of the industry had been affected and was unable to accept export orders coming in from around the globe, as a result of gas load shedding ‘’
