July 04, 2025 (MLN): Local mobile assembly and manufacturers have produced 12.05 million mobile phones during the first six months of the ongoing calendar year (January to May), while commercial imports totaled 0.76m.

A breakup of the data on local production provides details that out of the total 12.05m devices produced, 5.52m were smartphones while the remaining 6.53m were 2G devices.


Brandwise, Infinix took the lead in production by manufacturing 1.34m units in 11MCY25.

It is crucial to note that production has been on a declining trend since 2022 due to economic depression in the country and rising interest rates which acted as a constraint for the local industry.

In 2021, PTA reported that 24.66m devices were manufactured locally, and in 2023 the figure dropped to 21.28m units, around 13.71% lower over the period.

However, a greater drop was noticed in the commercial import section, reducing from 24.51m in 2020 to just 1.58m in 2023.

This decline is attributed to the import restrictions imposed by the central bank to curb the gap between export and import and reduce the outflow of foreign currency.

With the expanding reach of internet services, the threshold of smartphone devices on the Pakistan network has increased to 67%, compared to 59% in 2023 and 56% in 2022.

Conversely, the use of 2G devices on the local network has decreased to 33%, in contrast to 41% in 2023 and 44% in 2022.
