Pakistan's men's trouser exports to China have emerged as the driving force behind a surge in garment exports, which rose by 36% to $4.36 million in the first two months of 2023, according to the Pakistan Embassy in Beijing.

The country's robust manufacturing capabilities and high-quality garments have made them a popular choice for Chinese companies seeking competitive prices. Pakistani men's trousers of cotton emerged as the top product, with exports worth $2.57 million, a significant increase from the $1.27 million recorded in the same period last year.

In 2022, the annual exports of Pakistani men's garments to China were $28.66 million, up by 33% from the previous year's figure of $21.62 million. The top item in this category remained men's or boys' trousers of cotton, worth $17.94 million, which highlights the growing demand for these products among Chinese consumers.

In addition to trousers, Pakistan's T-shirt exports to China also witnessed impressive growth, with a 106% increase compared to the same period in 2022, reaching $5.53 million.

Pakistan's exports to China crossed $446 million in the first two months of 2023, signaling a positive trend in trade relations between the two countries.
