Kazakhstan's exports to Pakistan demonstrated exponential growth in 2025 and became one of the most dynamic areas of foreign trade. From January to November 2025, trade turnover between the two countries reached $105.6 million, a 2.1-fold increase compared to the same period in 2024, when it stood at $48.7 million. The key driver of growth was the export component, which increased fivefold from $11.2 million to $56.4 million, significantly improving the trade balance.

The increase in Kazakhstan's exports to Pakistan in 2025 is primarily due to the expansion of the product range and the commencement of shipments of a number of new items. Crude oil shipments, worth $52.9 million, contributed the most to this growth. Exports of agricultural and industrial products also increased significantly. Exports of legumes and vegetables reached $280,300, soldering equipment and machinery at $64,100, other office equipment at $48,100, plant-based weaving materials at $33,100, and auxiliary equipment for textile machinery at $22,500. Wheat shipments increased 4.6-fold to $55,100, reflecting the growing interest of the Pakistani market in Kazakhstan's agricultural products.

Imports from Pakistan to Kazakhstan in January–November 2025 also showed positive dynamics, increasing by 19.9% ​​to $44.9 million. The main growth was attributed to food products and light industry products. Potato imports increased almost 94-fold to $9.28 million. Knitwear shipments increased significantly: imports of other knitwear increased more than 125-fold to $663,000, women's knitwear by 45.8% to $1.45 million, and tank tops and sweatshirts by 43.2% to $1.18 million.

The results of mutual trade for January–November 2025 clearly demonstrate a qualitative shift in trade and economic relations between Kazakhstan and Pakistan. A five-fold increase in exports and an improved trade balance indicate the formation of a stable foundation for further expansion of supplies, deeper industrial and agricultural cooperation, and a strengthening of the position of Kazakh producers in the Pakistani market.
