How do you evaluate the textile and especially the fabric and home textile sectors in Pakistan?
The Success of Pakistan products is based on domestic raw cotton of medium staple which is the best for the course and medium yarn count, which is suitable for home textile products.
There are 423 textile industries working in the country. Pakistan has a supply base for almost all man-made and natural yarns and fabrics, including cotton, rayon and others. This abundance of raw materials is a big advantage for Pakistan due to its beneficial impact on cost and operational lead time.
