Karachi, October 2, 2025 – Procter & Gamble (P&G), one of the world’s leading consumer goods companies, has officially announced that it will discontinue its business operations in Pakistan.
The decision is part of P&G’s broader global restructuring initiative, aimed at reshaping its portfolio, streamlining its supply chain, and realigning organizational resources to drive faster growth and enhance long-term value creation.
According to a communication shared with the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on Thursday, The Gillette Company LLC conveyed to Gillette Pakistan Limited and its board of directors that Procter & Gamble has decided to withdraw from Pakistan. The announcement highlighted that this move is consistent with P&G’s global strategy to focus on priority markets and optimize operational efficiency.
A meeting of the board of directors of Gillette Pakistan Limited is expected to be convened soon to determine the next course of action following the exit. Among the key matters for consideration will be the potential delisting of Gillette Pakistan Limited from the Pakistan Stock Exchange, as well as compliance with all relevant legal and regulatory requirements during the transition.
Industry experts note that P&G’s exit from Pakistan marks a significant shift in the consumer goods sector, as the company has long been a recognized name in the market. Analysts believe that while the decision stems from global restructuring priorities, it may also reflect local economic challenges and competitive pressures faced by multinational firms operating in Pakistan.
