Pakistan’s IT industry has reached a major milestone by recording its highest-ever monthly exports of 386 million dollars in October 2025. This achievement shows how fast the sector is growing and how strongly it is contributing to the country’s economy.
The new record also reflects increasing global demand for Pakistan’s software development, IT services, and tech solutions.
According to official data, the October figure is 17 percent higher than the same month last year. It also shows a 5.5 percent increase compared to September. These numbers highlight the steady upward trend the industry has maintained throughout the current financial year.
In the first four months of FY26, total IT exports have already reached 1.4 billion dollars. This is a 20 percent rise on a year-on-year basis, showing strong momentum across the sector.
Several factors are supporting this consistent growth. Pakistan’s tech companies are expanding into new regions such as the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe.
This wider market presence is helping them secure bigger international contracts. A stable exchange rate between the Pakistani Rupee and the US Dollar is also giving exporters confidence by reducing financial uncertainty.
Government measures have played an important role as well. The Exporters’ Innovation Assistance (EIA) facility and higher limits for foreign currency retention have encouraged companies to reinvest in their operations. These policies are helping tech firms upgrade skills, adopt better technologies, and compete globally.
With this strong performance in the early months of the financial year, the government remains confident about achieving its target of 5 billion dollars in IT exports for FY26.
The latest record has boosted expectations that Pakistan’s digital economy will continue to grow, create jobs, and strengthen the country’s position in the global technology market.
