BEIJING, Mar. 29 (Gwadar Pro) - Pakistan's T-shirt export industry has been experiencing enrichment in recent years. In the first two months of 2023, the Pakistani T-shirt market increased by more than 100%, growing for the second year in a row, said Ghulam Qadir, Commercial Counsellor Pakistan Embassy Beijing.

 

Ghulam Qadir said that Pakistan's T-shirt exports to China reached USD 5.53 million in the first two months of 2023, up 106% compared to the same period in 2022. Despite the flood which affected cotton crops, Pakistan continues to be a significant player in the global T-shirt export industry.

“We are going to hold an International Textile Exhibition in Karachi on the last week of May, which is one of the biggest events in Pakistan, and expected many Chinese big players in this sector will attend this Texpo. We also want to meet Pakistani brands in major cities of China”, he added.

 

He told Gwadar Pro that attempts are being made to enhance T-shirt export to China by using Chinese e-commerce platforms including Alibaba, JD and so on. Besides, Pakistani t-shirts with Chinese zodiac signs are famous around China.
