In this article, we list sweater manufacturers in Pakistan. We provide their brief history, their quality & certifications, their products, and other relevant details.
The global sweater market is growing dramatically. According to different market research reports, the sweater retail market is estimated to balloon up to 104.8 billion USD.
The general knitwear global industry is expected to grow at CAGR of 11.6%. Hence, it is a very lucrative market for all types of businesses to join, either large or small.
As such, all these businesses require the best suppliers available in terms of quality and price. Pakistan matches these two imperative requirements for a top supplier in the sweater industry.
Pakistan has approximately 3,500 units in the knitwear industry with a capacity utilization of around 70%. It employs around 20,000 people and has exported an astronomical 2.36 billion US dollars’ worth of knitwear / sweater-related goods in 2016-17.
Pakistan’s knitwear is known for its superior quality and goods are exported to European, American, and Middle Eastern markets. In fact, 32% of exports go to Europe while 33% to the United States.
The key partners with Pakistan are the United States, UK, Germany, The Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Italy, and Canada. These are very developed countries with stringent quality assurance procedures and therefore the high amount of exports to these European and North American countries stands as a testament to the quality of the Pakistan knitwear goods like sweaters.
Further good news for European importers and businesses is that Pakistan has signed a Generalized Scheme of Preferences (GSP-Plus), Pakistan has increased its exports to the European Union countries.
However, the industry is not without its challenges. Even though, the Pakistani government is aiming to maximise its exports, problems such as lack of technology, poor infrastructure, poor training and human resources have slowly put Pakistan behind its competitors like India and Bangladesh.
Recently, the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) of the Cabinet has introduced incentives packages for businesses and exporters in the knitwear and sweaters industry of Pakistan which will help to counter these issues. But this is a short-term solution whereas a long-term solution requires a significant reduction in gas and electricity & input costs.
