Pak’s bed wear exports up three per cent

Pakistan’s bed wear textile exports grew by 3.22 per cent in July to May 2016-2017.In term of volume, bed wear textile exports rose by five per cent.

During May 2017, bed wear textile exports fell 16 per cent compared to May 2016. Quantity of bed wear textile exports plunged by 16.38 per cent in May 2017 compared to May 2016.

Bed wear and bed linen, which includes bed sheets, pillow covers and quilts, is an important sub sector for Pakistan’s textile industry. Most of Pakistan’s bed wear and bed linen production is provided by the informal sector where small manufacturers cut, stitch and package apparel but purchase the fabric. The higher quality market segments are supplied by vertically integrated units which monitor product quality.

Pakistan is helping out the entire chain of the textile sector to adopt and upgrade to new technology. Funds have been allotted to carry out research activities and bring about a qualitative improvement in industry-academia linkages.

One of the reasons for the decline in Pakistan’s textile exports is that preferential access to the European Union under the GSP Plus scheme hasn’t boosted proceeds due to a slump in demand.

In March 2017 exports of bed wear edged up 5.4 per cent while those of towels rose 15.8 per cent.
