PAKISTAN
At Textile Asia 2025, industry leaders and participants expressed overall satisfaction with the event, praising the turnout, business prospects, and growing interest in local and international partnerships. While the ongoing global tariff tensions, especially involving the U.S., have raised some concerns, most participants remain optimistic about Pakistan’s resilience and potential to tap into new markets. The shift toward localization, technological adoption, and government reforms were seen as key drivers for future growth in the power and manufacturing sectors.
Here’s what various industry stakeholders had to say:
Mohammad Tariq Haq | Energy Solutions (Pvt) Ltd
“This is a good event—we are satisfied. Business is improving in Pakistan, and this trend should continue. There is uncertainty due to the implications of U.S. tariffs, but I believe this is a conflict between major global powers and won’t affect Pakistan much, as we operate with relatively low volumes. Some even see this as an opportunity for Pakistan.”
Henriek Meyer | Sanniya Khizar Cummins
“It’s a fantastic event so far. We’ve received a warm welcome, and we’re exploring how we can contribute to the industry’s power needs. Given the current circumstances, gas engines are the best solution we’re offering. They provide both steam and power to meet the textile industry’s energy demands.”
Malik Umair Akram | Rack n Racks | Textile Asia 2025
“We’ve received a good response at the exhibition. We provide solutions for various industries, and it’s encouraging to engage directly with customers.”
Muhammad Nadeem Sadiq | Energy Solutions (Pvt) Ltd
“The response has exceeded our expectations and is enhancing our image nationally and internationally. We specialize in power generation. While the global tariff war continues, we remain hopeful. Our textile sector is strong enough to face these challenges.”
Farid Ahmed Vawda | FAV Group | Textile Asia 2025
“We’ve introduced new technologies and are focused on staying connected with the latest innovations. Regarding tariff wars, Pakistan is not facing this alone. It’s essential that we explore markets beyond just the U.S.”
Tanzeel Alam | Alam Engineering | Textile Asia 2025
“We’re receiving positive feedback and have generated many inquiries. Tariff issues are pushing us toward localization. We aim to develop more local products, especially in the manufacturing sector. Fortunately, the industry is supporting us, as our HVACR solutions meet the required standards.”
Qazi Muhammad Salman | R.A. Engineering | Textile Asia 2025
“We’ve been part of this expo for the past ten years. With a broad product line and by the grace of God, we are doing well. We’ve had very positive feedback from this event.”
M. Waleed Jawaid | INTEXCO | Textile Asia 2025
“We are an ICT distribution company working in security, surveillance, and networking for the past 25 years. The tariff war isn’t significantly affecting Pakistan. InshaAllah, we will navigate through it successfully.”
Muhammad Umair | Envo Xpert | Textile Asia 2025
“We’re hopeful that the situation will improve with government reforms, such as reducing power tariffs. The U.S. tariff issue might affect us, and sales in the U.S. may dip slightly.”
Muhammad Arsalan Omer | Allied Engineering & Services
“We’ve seen a good turnout at the event and hope to see further improvements. I believe the U.S. tariffs may actually prompt us to explore markets with lower tariffs. With the government’s power tariff reforms, Pakistan’s textile industry has the potential to grow even further.”
