Pakistan Textile Sector in Technological Boom

Many would be surprised at the vibrancy of the textile and clothing industry in Pakistan. Pakistan's competitive advantage in these categories has come from its ability to adopt of the latest technologies faster than its competitors. In a country racked by political instability in parts, business continues as usual in textile mills and stitching units of Lahore and Karachi's cosmopolitan industrial centres and in the dusty textile city of Faisalabad. There are 200 textile and clothing companies listed on the Karachi Stock Exchange.
