Pakistan’s information technology (IT) exports witnessed robust growth in November 2025, rising 14% year-on-year to $356 million, according to industry sources. This marks one of the highest monthly IT export figures recorded for the country, highlighting Pakistan’s growing footprint in the global digital economy.
Month-on-Month Performance
While November showed a strong annual increase, IT exports declined 8% compared to October 2025, reflecting normal fluctuations in international demand. Despite this monthly dip, the November figure remained above the 12-month average of $337 million, indicating sustained growth momentum in Pakistan’s IT sector.
Year-to-Date Performance
Cumulative IT exports during the first five months of FY26 reached $1.8 billion, showing 19% growth compared to the same period last year. Export proceeds per day stood at $17.8 million in November, up from $16.8 million in October, reflecting consistent inflows and the sector’s resilience amid global market challenges.
Driving Factors
Industry analysts attribute the strong performance to:
- Increased demand for software development and IT services from global clients.
- Pakistan’s growing reputation in freelance and digital solutions, driven by skilled tech professionals.
- Government policies supporting IT export facilitation and incentives for technology companies.
The November surge underscores Pakistan’s strategic potential in the global IT and digital services market, reinforcing the sector as a key driver of economic growth and foreign exchange earnings.
