What's Really Behind the "Made in Pakistan" Label?


"Made in Pakistan" sounds simple enough, right? So if smartphones are now going through Local Assembly in Pakistan, why haven't prices dropped the way many people expected? It's a fair question, but the answer starts long before a phone reaches a local assembly line.

While many smartphones sold locally carry an "assembled in Pakistan" label, local factories use SKD (Semi-Knocked Down) and CKD (Completely Knocked Down) kits to assemble phones, high-tech components like processors, OLED displays, and camera modules are still made abroad accounting for 70% to 80% of total manufacturing costs.
