Pakistan’s IT Industry Booming:
Pakistan’s technology sector is entering a new era of growth and innovation. The recent launch of Google AI Mode has created excitement among the country’s digital workforce, signalling Pakistan’s readiness to embrace artificial intelligence in education, business, and everyday life. Alongside this, social media usage in Pakistan has witnessed a sharp rise, with millions of new users joining platforms that are reshaping communication, marketing, and e-commerce.
At the same time, the Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB) has reported a significant surge in IT exports, which reached $1.86 billion in the first half of FY 2024-25. This growth highlights the strength of Pakistan’s digital talent and the increasing demand for software, IT services, and outsourcing solutions in global markets. For local startups, freelancers, and tech companies, this momentum means greater opportunities to compete internationally while creating more jobs at home.
Looking ahead, Pakistan’s IT sector has the potential to become one of the country’s largest economic pillars. With the adoption of AI technologies, a rapidly expanding online community, and strong export performance, Pakistan can establish itself as a global digital hub. If supported with proper infrastructure, policy reforms, and investment in digital skills, the sector could attract billions in foreign investment, enhance e-governance, and drive long-term economic growth.
