Major Industries of Pakistan 28 May 2012 Cotton Textile Industry
After the freedom of Pakistan the maximum progress was made by the industry of cotton cloth. Cotton cloth was mostly imported. i mported. Government gave much importance to this industry and encouraged. At that time ti me 850 small and large industries i ndustries were working. In 1975 the produce of cloth was 70 corer yarns. Now our country is independent in some types of cloth yards but cotton cloth is also being exported. Japan and Hong Kong are the biggest importers of our cloth. Now the import of this industry is finished. Its industries are mostly in Faisalabad, Lahore and Karachi. Faisalabad is called the Manchester of Pakistan. Two industries Bolan Textile and Lusbella are being established by the cooperation of Iran. It will cost Rs. 67 Corers.
Woolen Textile Industry
There is no industry of woolen cloth in Pakistan before partition. One difficulty is that fine woolen thread has to be imported. Country wool is not so good that it can be used in the manufacturing of good quality cloth. It is mostly used in carpet making high quality woolen cloth blanket and woolen thread. In Pakistan is made in Bannu, Karachi, Lawrencepur, Hernai Multan, Noshera and Quaidabad . Cement Industry
There was only industry of cement when Pakistan came in to being. Now many industries are working in Daud Khel, Dandkot, Hyderabad, Wah, Rohrim Jhelum, Hazara and Karachi . Calcium Carbonate, Gypsum and Special clay which is used in its manufacturing is sufficient in Pakistan. A factory is being made in Spuntungy in Balochistan with the cooperation of Iran. Second factory is under construction at Gudai in Lasbella. Factories of cement are also working in Gharibwal, Farooqui, Noshera, Kohar and Nooriabad. Sugar Industry

Miscellaneous Industries
Many other industries have also progressed much. Among them, industries of flour grinding, cigarette making, match sticks, glass making and cycle making are important.
Physical Review 2010-11 The movement in the growth of large-scale manufacturing (LSM) could not be sustained in the initial months of FY 2010-11. The LSM growth turned negative in August 2010, due to heavy rains and floods, which particularly affected construction, petroleum refining, cotton textiles, and agro-based industries. However, LSM posted growth in December and onwards despite acute energy shortages and weak textile performance. Similarly, strong domestic demand, led to robust growth in automobiles, fertilizers, rubber, and engineering industries. Moreover, strong external demand supported the growth in chemicals and leather. It is fairly anticipated that the export-led growth in the cement sector seen in the recent past would lose some steam as competition tightened due to expansion of cement Industry and Commerce
producing capacity in the importing countries. Some other export-based industries, including pharmaceutical and electric fans, which benefitted from geographical diversification in the past two years, lost ground in non-traditional markets. For the pharmaceutical sector, this decline came about in response to increasingly stringent quality requirements for drug exports, and growing competition from India, on the other hand, fan exports are losing to both Chinese and Indian manufacturers in destination markets.

Pakistan Major Business Sectors
1. OVERVIEW AND TRENDS Pakistan’s economy has been predominantly agrarian. Since Pakistan came into existence, the contribution of
the agricultural sector to the GDP has declined gradually from over 50 percent in 1949-1950 to about 22 percent in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2009-10 (July 2009-June 2010). However, agriculture still remains the major sector of the GDP composition. Other economic sectors include industry and services, contributing to the GDP about 25 percent and 53 percent respectively.

Since its independence in 1947, Pakistan has transformed itself from a low skilled agrarian economy to a semi-industrialized economy. On the other hand, Pakistan has a long way to go in economic and social development as a large portion of its 180 million inhabitants is still living below poverty line.
During the last decade, economic developments in Pakistan have been - to a significant extent - influenced by the Government’s Program for poverty reduction and the development of markets and the real economy.
Following the liberalization of markets and the implementation of economic reforms, the following developments in the economic and social sector have been identified:
High GDP growth resulting from output and sales growth; Monetary stability; Developments of money and securities markets; Improvements in the standard of living and poverty reduction (based on economic growth); Development and reinforcement of the banking sector and enhancement of its role in the social and economic development of the country.

However, the economic development has been slowed down since 2008, as the macroeconomic situation deteriorated significantly owing to adverse security developments, large price increase of some commodities such as oil and food, global financial turmoil, and national political issues. Other challenges being faced by Pakistan’s economy include energy deficiency, growing population, etc.
In order to ensure that macroeconomic difficulties do not further slow down the pace of job creation and adversely affect poverty reduction, the government reached a Standby Agreement with IMF on November 24, 2008 for a US $11.3 billion, spread out over a period of 23 months. Its worth mentioning that the recent unprecedented floods and torrential rains (July-August 2010) in the country to some extent have intensified the effects of an already fragile macroeconomic environment. However, despite the said challenges, Pakistan’s economy witnessed a moderate recovery with real GDP growth rising to 4.1 percent in the FY 2009-10 after falling to a multi-decade low of 1.2 percent in FY 2008-09. The State Bank of Pakistan’s forecasts suggests that the real GDP growth during FY 2010 11 is likely to be in the range of 2 to 3 percent.
2. MAJOR SECTORS OF ECONOMY Agriculture: The agriculture sector comprising of farming, forestry, livestock, poultry and fisheries, contributes about 22 percent to the GDP, employs about 45 percent of the total work force and is the main source of livelihood for over 60 percent of the country’s population living in rural areas. It contributes substantially to the country’s exports, provides raw material to major industries s uch as textile, sugar, dairy, leather and other agrobased industries and as well as market for industrial products.
The agriculture growth in the fiscal year (FY) 2009- 10 dropped from 4.0 percent in the preceding year to 2.0 percent. This deceleration was not only attributed to a negative growth by the crops sub-sector but also because of a relatively higher base; offsetting the impact of significant growth in livestock. The performance by the crops sub-sector suffered in FY 2009-10 due to (a) irrigation water shortages, (b) inadequate availability of certified seeds relative to FY 2008-09 and (c) lower rains during the critical sowing period, i.e. Nov-Jan FY 2009-10. In addition, uncertainty over prices of rice and sugarcane also contributed to the negative growth of cropping sector. These factors primarily led to a decline in area under cultivation as well as yields of some major crops. A strong recovery was anticipated in the FY 2010-11 but due to the damages to crops by recent floods and torrential rains (July-August 2010) it will not be realized.

Industry: Industry is the second largest and an important sector of the economy accounting for 25 percent of the GDP. It comprises of large to middle scale manufacturing, mining & quarrying, construction, electricity & gas distribution.
In manufacturing, cotton yarn and cotton cloth is the leading sector, followed by food processing industries largely based on indigenous raw materials. Engineering sector in Pakistan is engaged in manufacturing cement and sugar plants, industrial boilers, chemical/petrochemical plant & equipment, construction equipment and power transmission towers, textile related engineering, automot
During the FY 2009-10, the domestic industrial sector recovered from the longest-ever decline (seen in the previous year) to record a decent growth of 4.9 percent. The recovery came mainly due to supportive macroeconomic policies, relatively lower inflation, improved prospects of global economy, and relatively better credit availability. The growth in FY 2009-10 was the fourth highest growth rate in the decade, but was still below the 10-year average of 5.7 percent. Share in GDP and growth rate of Industry sector

The industrial growth during FY2009-10 stemmed mainly from a rebound in manufacturing and construction sectors as government reversed some taxes imposed last year. The resultant price adjustments were immediately followed by the pick-up in domestic demand which coupled with available capacities, ensured positive growth rate in most sectors. Specifically, while manufacturing sector growth was driven mainly by a strong rebound in consumer durable industries, the growth in construction is explained mainly by lower building material prices that revitalized construction activities in the private sector. On the other hand, the production in mining & quarrying sector declined in FY2009-10, mainly on account of natural decline in some oil and gas fields. Services: The services sector is becoming an increasingly important dimension of Pakistan’s economy due to its major contribution of about 53 percent in the GDP. Wholesale & retail trade, transport & storage, communication, community & social services and personal services are leading service activities in Pakistan. Other services are finance and insurance, ownership of dwellings, public administration, etc. After reaching an 11-year low growth (3.1 percent) during FY2008-09, the services sector rebounded strongly in FY2009-10 with 4.6 percent growth. The higher growth was an outcome of pick up in commodity producing sector activities and was evident mainly in higher than expected contributions of wholesale & retail trade, public services, telecom and personal services.
While some of the developments observed in FY2009-10 can be singled out as being transient – for example, the negative growth in financial sector and the high growth in public administration and defence – others are reflective of more enduring trends that emerged during the 2000s decade. Rapid growth has been observed in technical and skill- based services, such as telecommunications, software development, and accounting and finance. Moreover, growing automation and trained manpower have significantly changed the landscape by increasing efficiencies in wholesale & retail and public transport in the country. The single feature that characterizes these trends is the use of modern technology in the services sector.

3. FOREIGN TRADE Direction of Exports: Pakistan’s major exports consist of five items (cotton textiles, leather, rice, synthetic textile and sports goods). These five items accounts for about 70 percent share in the total exports. Intensity of concentration further deepens when analyzed within these five export items, as above 52 percent contribution in the total exports comes from cotton textiles.
The composition of exports markets remains fairly concentrated, as a bout 40 percent of Pakistan’s exports are destined to seven major markets (USA, Germany, Japan, UK, Hong Kong, Dubai and Saudi Arabia) and the remaining exports’ share of 60 percent consists of all other countries.
