According to the latest report from the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP), Pakistan’s exports to China rose 8% year-on-year to reach $2.225 billion during the first ten months of FY 2025–26 (July–April), up from $2.066 billion in the previous fiscal year. This trade accounted for nearly 8.8% of Pakistan’s total $25.21 billion goods exports for the period, reinforcing China’s position as a crucial destination for Pakistani exporters.
The growth was capped off by a massive monthly surge in April 2026, where exports to China skyrocketed 76% year-on-year to $250 million, compared to $141 million in April 2025. This rapid expansion represents one of the strongest growth rates recorded among all of Pakistan’s major global trade partners.
This positive trend indicates the strategic success of the second phase of the China-Pakistan Free Trade Agreement (CPFTA), which has significantly improved market access for Pakistani goods. By strengthening the inflow of foreign exchange, this export surge helps stabilize Pakistan’s trade balance and fortifies domestic industries particularly in the agricultural, textile, and mineral sectors. Thus, Pakistan is noe deeply embedded into China’s vast industrial supply chains.
