By In a significant boost to its industrial and export profile, Pakistan has emerged as one of the top 10 exporters of Truck and Bus Radial (TBR) tyres to the United States during the first quarter of 2025. According to the latest trade data, Pakistan exported over 111,000 TBR tires in Q1 2025, up from 63,500 units in the same period last year—marking a remarkable 76.3% year-on-year growth.
This achievement reflects the country’s growing capability to meet international quality standards and demand, especially in a highly competitive market like the U.S. It also signals a critical turning point for Pakistan’s manufacturing and export sectors, highlighting the impact of policy reforms, industry upgrades, and enhanced workforce skills.
Key Drivers Behind the Growth
Industry analysts attribute this export surge to several factors:
- Pro-export government policies promoting industrial expansion and trade incentives
- Increased investment in advanced manufacturing technology and automation
- Improved quality control standards aligning with international benchmarks
- Focused workforce training to enhance productivity and technical expertise
The success also underscores how Pakistani tire manufacturers have expanded production capacity while maintaining consistent product reliability, which is essential for penetrating mature markets like the United States.
Strategic Importance
This export milestone could open the door to new global markets, especially in Europe and the Middle East, as confidence in Pakistani-made TBR tires increases. Furthermore, it offers an opportunity to diversify exports, reduce dependency on traditional sectors like textiles, and shrink the trade deficit.
With global demand for commercial vehicle tires continuing to grow—driven by logistics, freight, and e-commerce—Pakistan is well-positioned to scale its presence in the tire export market. Experts predict sustained momentum in the coming years, provided the country continues to invest in innovation, quality, and logistics infrastructure.
Pakistan’s entry into the list of top 10 TBR tyre exporters to the U.S. is more than a statistical achievement—it’s a symbol of industrial transformation and rising global competitiveness. If this trajectory continues, the country could become a major player in the global tire industry, bolstering both economic resilience and international trade stature.
