As Donald Trump re-enters the U.S. presidency, global markets adjust to the potential shifts his administration may bring. This new landscape makes high-growth emerging markets, like Pakistan, even more attractive to overseas investors. Here, we examine some key sectors set to thrive in Pakistan and what makes them ripe for investment.
Real Estate: A High-Return Sector
Pakistan's real estate market continues to grow, as confirmed by Savills, drawing the attention of overseas Pakistanis seeking secure investments.
High-Value Appreciation: In Garden Town, for example, property prices have increased by 168.8% from May 2021 to August 2024, with annual growth averaging over 41%). This trend reflects the general demand in Lahore’s high-end residential zones.
Rental Yields: Upscale areas in Lahore typically yield 6-8% annually, providing steady income alongside property appreciation.
Luxury properties like those from One Homes are designed with overseas Pakistanis in mind, offering security and high investment returns.
Textiles: Backbone of Pakistan’s Exports
Contributing 60% to Pakistan’s exports, the textile sector is a vital part of the economy and remains competitive in global markets.
Export Value: The sector reached $21 billion in 2023, showing substantial growth year-on-year (State Bank of Pakistan, 2024).
Global Demand: From cotton textiles to synthetic fabrics, Pakistani textiles remain in demand worldwide, making it a resilient choice for investors seeking stable exports.
Technology: The Fastest-Growing Sector
Pakistan’s digital sector is expanding rapidly, driven by government support and international demand for IT services.
Projected Export Growth: The tech industry currently generates $2.6 billion in exports annually, with projections to reach $15 billion within five years (Ministry of IT, 2024).
Government Support: Initiatives for skill development are creating a specialised workforce, and ensuring the tech sector's resilience and global competitiveness.
Remittances and Economic Stability
Overseas Pakistanis are significantly bolstering the economy, with remittances reaching $8.8 billion in Q1 2025—a 38.8% increase from the previous year. This influx strengthens economic stability, attracting investment across all sectors and signalling confidence in Pakistan’s financial outlook.
The Premier Choice
With rising demand, appreciation, and rental yields, Pakistan’s real estate stands out as the top choice for overseas Pakistanis. Luxury properties developed by One Homes offer the ideal blend of security, value, and connection to the motherland. As far as investing in an emerging market, you couldn’t ask for a better trump card than partnering with a globally renowned British investment group.
