Localization Is Policy-Driven — As It Is Everywhere
Pakistan’s Mobile Device Manufacturing Policy lays out a phased localization roadmap:
• Chargers — localized
• Packaging — fully localized
• Batteries — in progress
• Cables and accessories — in progress
• Plastic casings — in progress
Next phases explicitly target PCB assembly, display modules, and higher-value electronics.
Tariff protection is not a distortion. It is how every manufacturing nation built capability, including China, Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, and India.
