Karachi: Textile exports from Pakistan continued their upward trajectory in August 2026, buoyed by increased consumer demand from the United States and a general improvement in global demand. The sector's growth was primarily driven by an increase in the volume of value-added textile products, indicating a robust performance in this segment.

According to AKD Securities Limited, the positive outlook is expected to persist as international cotton prices are anticipated to stabilize with the easing of geopolitical uncertainties. The firm maintains an "overweight" stance on the sector, highlighting ILP as its preferred investment choice moving forward.
