Pakistan’s tyre industry has achieved a major milestone in the global export market. The country has now joined the top 10 tire-exporting nations, supplying products to the United States and Brazil. As a result, the sector is gaining strong international attention.
Industry experts said global demand for Pakistani truck and bus radial tyres has increased rapidly in recent months. Moreover, local manufacturers continue to expand their presence in international markets.
Service Long March has become the country’s leading tyre export company. The company currently exports a large share of its total production to overseas buyers. According to industry data, nearly 40 percent of its overall tyre production now goes to foreign markets.
Pakistan’s tyre industry has also strengthened its position in countries such as South Africa and Egypt. In addition, Pakistani tyre manufacturers are receiving positive responses from buyers in the United States and Brazil. Experts believe competitive pricing and improved product quality helped local companies attract international customers.
The local tyre sector has also shown strong growth in Pakistan. The annual demand for truck and bus tyres in the country has reached 1.7 million units. Therefore, manufacturers are increasing production to meet both local and international demand.
Industry officials said Pakistan’s tyre industry has started reducing dependence on imported tyres. Local manufacturers are now supplying more products to the domestic market. Consequently, consumers are gradually shifting toward locally produced tyres.
The sector’s export growth is also creating positive economic opportunities. Experts said rising tyre exports are helping Pakistan earn valuable foreign exchange. At the same time, the industry is supporting industrial growth and employment opportunities.
Meanwhile, Service Long March has announced a major expansion plan. The company aims to increase its tyre production capacity to 2.2 million units by 2027. Therefore, analysts expect export volumes to rise further in the coming years.
Economic experts believe Pakistan’s tyre industry can become an important contributor to the country’s manufacturing exports. However, they stressed the need for consistent policies and industrial support to maintain long-term growth.
The sector’s recent performance has also improved investor confidence. Furthermore, rising exports indicate that Pakistani manufacturers can compete with international brands in global markets.
Industry observers noted that Pakistan’s tyre industry now stands at an important stage of development. If production capacity continues to grow, the country could further strengthen its position in the global tyre market.
