In 2025, Pakistan's exports to China grew by 1.07%, totaling $2.84 billion compared to $2.81 billion in 2024, according to data from the General Administration of Customs of China (GACC). This modest increase underscores the resilience of bilateral trade despite global economic headwinds, says a report published by Gwadar Pro.

According to GACC data, monthly figures indicated a strengthening rhythm in the second half of the year. Exports in January 2025 stood at $204.94 million, followed by a significant spike in February, which reached $238.94 million—nearly 43% higher than the $167.44 million recorded in February 2024.

The year concluded with strong momentum; November recorded $303.01 million, while December reached a yearly peak of $336.45 million. These figures signal Pakistan’s growing competitiveness in key sectors such as agriculture and minerals. While most months showed improvement, October 2025 saw a slight dip, with exports reaching $273.13 million compared to $281.33 million in October 2024. Despite this intermittent fluctuation, the overall trajectory remained positive.

Bilateral trade between the two nations reached $25.23 billion in 2025, up nearly 10% from $23 billion in 2024, reflecting deepening economic integration under the CPEC framework, the report added.
