Pakistan’s wood industry is well developed and captures 95% of the country’s total market for furniture. The country has more than 700 units of wooden furniture with Chiniot, alone meets 80% of furniture demand in the country, Gujarat, with world-class furniture, Peshawar, Lahore, Karachi and Faisalabad being important centers. Director of Pakistan Interiors furniture expo Ms Madeeha Adnan said that import of furniture items could create a viable threat of unemployment in local furniture industry. The furniture industry in Pakistan has great potential as it can be both a labor intensive and capital-intensive sector. Skilled craftsmen can create unique pieces while large scale factories can produce many identical units in both cases adding to the employment. “She said local furniture industry has a great potential and there is only a need of the patronization of the government and if furniture sector will be given a status of an industry, she is optimistic that it will bring multiple socio-economic benefits. She further demanded that the government must provide subsidies for growth of furniture sector especially in the preliminary stages besides removing hurdles in the promotion of furniture sector in Pakistan.
