The industrial sector contributes nearly 25% to the GDP. The major industries are textile production (the biggest earner of foreign exchange), oil refining, metal processing, and cement & fertilizer production. The automotive industry is one of the emerging industries in Pakistan. There are around 20 automobile/motorcycle manufacturing units in assembling operations . Further to the privatization of the cement plants, and the recent boom in the construction industry, cement manufacturing is performing very well. The pharmaceutical sector with a large presence of the main international corporations is a major player now in the country. The leather goods industry and, to a limited extent, the metal surgical instruments sector, mostly based in Sialkot, are impressive exporters.
25 professional associations listed for Pakistan.
