Pakistani textile and apparel manufacturers are aggressively pursuing direct vendor partnerships with North American fashion brands to expand export share beyond traditional commodity cotton. Organised by the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP), the Pakistan Pavilion at Texworld New York City 2026 brought together specialized exporters—including A1 Infinity, MRI Group, Hometex Corporation, Ruqi Sports, and Niza Sports—at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. Showcasing value-added categories across activewear, technical leather garments, structured sportswear, and luxury home textiles, exporters aimed to capture higher-margin order books from US fashion retailers seeking reliable sourcing diversification.

Bilateral engagement supports export diversification drive

Expanding trade links with major American apparel groups remains vital to mitigating regional energy cost spikes and stabilizing foreign exchange earnings. Texworld New York City offers an essential platform for Pakistani manufacturers to establish direct buyer connections, demonstrate manufacturing compliance, and expand our commercial footprint across the American market, states Adnan Mahmood Awan, Trade & Investment Counsellor, Consulate General of Pakistan in New York. By leveraging integrated vertical supply chains and competitive labor costs, Pakistani apparel vendors are scaling technical garment capabilities to capture growing US demand for performance activewear and premium home textiles.

Export facilitation agency strengthens global trade infrastructure

Established in 2006 as the successor to the Export Promotion Bureau, the Karachi-headquartered Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) orchestrates national export promotion across international textiles, leather, and consumer goods markets. Driving government-to-business trade initiatives across North America, Europe, and Asia, TDAP targets sustained export revenue growth by upgrading domestic value-added manufacturing standards.
