KARACHI, June 17: Pakistan’s IT exports rose 13% year-on-year to $373 million in May 2026, according to Topline Research. However, they fell 12% month-on-month due to fewer working days during Eid holidays.
Moreover, cumulative IT exports for the first eleven months of FY26 (11MFY26) climbed to $4.2 billion, up 21% compared to last year.
In addition, net IT exports (exports minus imports) reached $314 million in May, reflecting a 7% year-on-year increase. This shows continued strength in the sector’s external contribution.
Furthermore, the government projects total IT exports to reach $4.5 billion in FY26, marking an 18% annual growth target.
Looking ahead, under the “Uraan Pakistan” economic plan, the government aims to push IT exports to $10 billion by FY2028-29. As a result, the sector must sustain a 27% CAGR to meet the target.
Meanwhile, analysts note that global demand for digital services continues to support Pakistan’s IT exports. However, they caution that monthly performance may remain volatile due to seasonal and holiday-related disruptions.
