In 2025, Pakistan shipped 135,191 kg of these tools, worth $2.44 million.<br \/>\nThis represents a remarkable 30% increase from the $1.88 million worth exported in the previous year, signaling growing demand for these products in China\u2019s expanding manufacturing and industrial sectors.<br \/>\nFurthermore, scissors, tailors\u2019 shears, and similar cutting tools have been well-received, with exports reaching $1.19 million in 2025. While this figure is stable compared to last year\u2019s performance, the consistent demand for these precision tools further illustrates the increasing popularity of Pakistani-made cutlery in China.<br \/>\nExperts believe the rise in exports can be attributed to the superior craftsmanship of Pakistani artisans, whose handmade products are known for their durability and quality. As China\u2019s appetite for premium, handmade metal products continues to grow, Pakistan\u2019s cutlery and tools sector is expected to maintain its upward trajectory in the coming years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD In the first eight months of 2025, Pakistan\u2019s handmade cutlery and metal implements have seen a notable surge in demand from China, according to a China Economic Net\u2019s report.
