Abstract
The study was designed to find out the key determinants of the competitiveness of the textile industry of Pakistan and also the impact of these determinants on performance. Survey was designed to conduct the research in the sector by using finance, productivity, supply and demand-side determinants to measure enterprises’ competitiveness. 183 Public Limited Textile companies listed at KSE (Karachi Stock Exchange) were taken as sample for the study. Exploratory factor analysis technique was applied to find out the key elements of each major dimension of competitiveness. Findings demonstrate that key elements of each dimension include two from finance, three from productivity, four from supply and two from demand side. This suggests that the improvement in these eleven areas can foster industry performance, and that more resources should be endowed to enhance the domestic business competitiveness of local enterprises.
