Pakistan’s IT Exports Reach Record $386 Million in October, Marking Highest-Ever Monthly Revenue

Pakistan’s IT industry has achieved a historic milestone by recording its highest-ever monthly exports of 386 million dollars in October 2025, highlighting the sector’s rapid growth and its significant contribution to the national economy. This record reflects rising international demand for Pakistan’s software development, IT services, and technology solutions, positioning the country as an emerging player in the global digital economy.

Official data indicates that the October figure is 17 percent higher than the same month last year and 5.5 percent above September’s exports, underscoring a consistent upward trend maintained throughout the current financial year. In the first four months of FY26, Pakistan’s total IT exports have reached 1.4 billion dollars, representing a 20 percent year-on-year increase and demonstrating strong momentum across the sector.

Several factors are driving this growth. Pakistani tech companies are expanding into new markets, including the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe, enabling them to secure larger international contracts. A stable exchange rate between the Pakistani Rupee and the US Dollar has also boosted exporter confidence by reducing financial uncertainty.

Government initiatives have played a crucial role in supporting the industry. Measures such as the Exporters’ Innovation Assistance (EIA) facility and increased foreign currency retention limits are encouraging companies to reinvest in operations, upgrade skills, adopt advanced technologies, and compete effectively on a global scale.

With this robust performance early in the financial year, authorities remain confident in achieving the FY26 target of five billion dollars in IT exports. The record-breaking results have strengthened optimism about Pakistan’s digital economy, signaling continued job creation, enhanced global competitiveness, and a growing role for the country in the international technology market.
