This document outlines the evolution of Pakistan's industrial sector from 1947 to the present. It begins with an introduction to industry and its importance to Pakistan's economy, accounting for 25% of GDP. Historically, Pakistan had a negligible industrial base at partition in 1947, receiving only 34 of 955 total industries. The document then charts the growth of industry through decades from the 1940s-1970s and more recently from 2003-2011. It identifies major industries like textiles and discusses challenges like political instability, lack of capital, and new global competitors that have hindered industrial development. Currently, the industrial production sector in Pakistan decreased 3.24% in April 2016 compared to the previous year.
