Local mobile phone companies produced or assembled 2.49 million units during November 2025, reflecting an 8 percent year-on-year increase compared to 2.31 million units in November 2024.
According to sources and the latest data released by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), overall local production or assembly of mobile phones reached 27.6 million units during the first 11 months of 2025, showing a 3 percent decline compared to the same period last year.
Out of the total 27.6 million units produced during the first 11 months of 2025, 53 percent (14.51 million units) were smartphones, while the remaining 47 percent (13.09 million units) comprised 2G feature phones (button phones).
Sources said that during the first 11 months of 2025, Pakistan met 88 percent of its mobile phone demand through local manufacturing and assembly, down from an average of 93 percent in the first 10 months. This decline is mainly attributed to an increase in the share of imported phones following the launch of Apple’s iPhone 17.
According to sources, the top 10 locally assembled mobile phone brands during the first 11 months of 2025 were led by Infinix (3.47 million units), followed by Vgotel (3.07 million units), Vivo (2.57 million units), Itel (2.2 million units), Tecno (1.73 million units), Samsung (1.57 million units), Xiaomi (1.35 million units), QMobile (1.06 million units), Realme (1.0 million units), and G’Five (0.92 million units).
Looking ahead, according to Topline Securities, mobile phone sales are expected to grow by 7 to 8 percent year-on-year over the next 12 months, driven by a stable Pakistani rupee, easing inflation, and improving consumer purchasing power.
