Asian countries have recently become the rising stars of global textile and clothing trade. Pakistan, which is one of these countries, is a leading global textile exporter. Pakistan textile and clothing industry, which is a locomotive of Pakistan economy, attracts attention with increasing export ratios. However, the academic studies within the literature, which analyze and scrutinize Pakistan’s textile and clothing industry, which is one of the significant actors of global textile and clothing trade, in all aspects, are inadequate and lack of current information. Therefore, a current situation evaluation study, which can analyze the current situation of Pakistan textile and clothing industry and which can be helpful for developing future strategies, is needed. In this context, primarily, current situation of Pakistan’s textile and clothing industry is analyzed in detail. As known, textile is the basic industry of Pakistan. It is accorded as the backbone of Pakistan’s economy as it is the remarkable source of Pakistan’s export earnings. Textile industry is the single largest determinant for the economic growth of the country due to its share in the economy as well as its contribution to exports, employment, foreign exchange earnings, investment and revenue generation [1]. Textile and clothing industry approximately constitutes 62% of Pakistan’s exports by 2016 (table 1). Pakistan’s textile industry provides approximately %40 of industrial labour force, 40% of manufacturing sector’s banking credits, 8% of gross domestic product. According to the International Cotton Advisory Committee, Pakistan is the fourth largest cotton producer and third largest cotton consumer in the world. In addition, Pakistan is the world’s second largest cotton yarn exporter and third largest cotton cloth manufacturer and exporter [3]. Easily available cheap labour and basic raw material (cotton) has played a primary role in the growth of Pakistan’s textile industry. Pakistan’s textile industry, which is the leading sector of industrial manufacturing, is based on abundant supply of indigenous cotton. In other words, it depends on cotton agriculture.
