Significant role of textile industry

The share of textile industry in the economy along with its contribution to exports, employment, foreign exchange earnings, investment and value added makes it the single largest manufacturing sector for Pakistan. It contributes around 8.5 percent to GDP,employs 38 percent of the total manufacturing labor force, and contributes between 60-70 percent to total merchandise exports. Pakistan is one of the largest textile exporters in the world. Despite Government efforts to diversify exports and widen the industrial base, the industrial sector remains dominated by the Textile sector. Textile Sector still represents 46% of total manufacturing and provides68% of Pakistan’s Export receipts.

Structure of textile industry

At Present, the industry consists of large-scale organized sector and a highly frag-mented cottage / small-scale sector. The organized sector comprises integrated te-xtile mills i.e. spinning units with Shuttle-less looms. The down stream industey
(Weaving, Finishing, Garments, Towels & Hosiery), with great export potential, is
Mostly in the unorganized sector.

Spinning

Spinning is the process of converting fibers into yarn. The fibers may be natural fibers such as cotton or manmade fibers such as polyester. Sometimes, the term spinning is also used for production of manmade filament yarn (yarn that is not made from fibers). Whatsoever is the case, the final product of spinning is yarn. The spinning sector forms the heart of the textile industry.

Weaving

Weaving sector is one of the most important textile sub-sectors. The exports of woven fabrics and other related woven made-ups form a major portion of textile exports from Pakistan.

Power Loom

The Power Loom Sector has modernized and registered a phenomenal growth over the last two decades.

Value Added Processes

Cotton value chain starts from Ginning that adds value to it by separating cotton from seed and impurities but Spinning can rightly be called as the first process of the chain that adds value to cotton by converting into a new product i.e. conversion from ginned cotton into cotton yarn. The importance of spinning cannot be overemphasized. Since spinning is in the beginning of value chain, so all later value added processes of weaving, knitting , processing, garments and made-ups manufacturingare dependent upon it. If spinning industry produces sub-standard yarn, its effect goes right across the entire value chain.

Raw material used in textile industry

Cotton

Cotton is a natural fiber used primarily as a raw material in textile industry. Being a major crop, Cotton is an economic asset of Pakistan. Both Punjab and Sindh are the major cotton growing provinces and their share in total cotton production is estimated at 76% and 23% respectively.

Fiber

Pakistan is among the major global producers and exporters of textiles and apparel. Cotton was primarily used as raw material in yarn manufacturing but the growing demand for blended yarn and fabrics has shifted the raw-material source towards the man-made or Synthetic Fiber in Pakistan.
