The United States continued to be Pakistan’s largest export market in fiscal year 2025-26. It accounted for 20% of the country’s total exports. This means one out of every five dollars earned from Pakistan’s exports came from the US.
According to trade data from Topline Securities, the US market played a key role in supporting Pakistan’s export sector and foreign exchange earnings. China stood as the second-largest destination with a 9% share, while the United Kingdom came third with 7%.
Pakistan’s exports remain focused on a few big markets. The top five destinations together made up nearly half of all exports in FY26. This shows heavy dependence on key partners like the US for growth and stability.
Main products sent to the US include textiles, garments, house linens, and other manufactured goods. These items are popular because of their quality and competitive prices. Strong trade ties with the US have helped Pakistan earn billions of dollars over the years.
Analysts say it is important to keep good relations with major markets while finding new ones. The government is working on trade agreements, better incentives, and policies to make Pakistani products more competitive globally. Diversifying export markets can reduce risks if one market faces problems.
This strong performance with the US highlights the potential of Pakistan’s export industries. With continued efforts in quality improvement and market access, the country can achieve even higher export targets in the coming years.
