Pakistan's tyre industry targets $150mn exports in FY27

Pakistan’s tyre manufacturers are aiming for $150 million in exports in FY27, compared with $116 million in FY26 and $35 million in FY22, Profit by Pakistan Today reported. Commerce Minister Jam Kamal Khan told industry representatives that the ministry would help address barriers to overseas sales, including issues affecting exports to Türkiye. Officials said some tyre categories already receive tariff concessions under the Pakistan-Türkiye Preferential Trade Agreement, and asked exporters to provide product details and HS codes for follow-up.

Service Long March (SLM), which started commercial production in 2022, exported $67 million worth of tyres in FY26 and is seeking $100 million in FY27. Its September 2026 exports rose to $9.5 million from $6.9 million a year earlier, representing about 63% of reported sector shipments for that month. The company plans to start exporting passenger-car radial tyres in 2028, while Armstrong began such exports in August 2026; the industry also identifies quality standards and competitive prices as important in major markets including the United States and Brazil.
