Yearly data from 2005 to 2024, from the World Bank.
Pakistan's import volume index (2015 = 100) was 196.6 in 2024, the latest year in the World Bank's World Development Indicators. That is up 98.99% from 98.8 in 2014 (7.12% a year on average, compounded).
| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 196.6 | 2024 |
| Five years earlier | 160 | 2019 |
| Ten years earlier | 98.8 | 2014 |
| Highest | 207.5 | 2021 |
| Lowest | 92.1 | 2013 |
| Average since 2015 | 165.42 | 2015–2024 |
| First recorded | 102.2 | 2005 |
Over five years it is up 22.87% from 160 in 2019 (4.21% a year on average, compounded). Since 2005 it is up 92.37% from 102.2 in 2005 (3.5% a year on average, compounded).
In 2024, Pakistan's import volume index (2015 = 100) fell 4 on 2023 (from 200.6 to 196.6).
Across the 18 yearly changes before that (2006 to 2023), the average change was +5.47 and a typical year strayed about 14.77 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.6 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 50.9 in 2021 and the biggest yearly fall was 11.1 in 2009. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2015 to 2024 the straight-line trend is upward, about 11.27 a year. A straight line explains 85% of the movement over 10 observed years.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
In 2024, Pakistan had the 15th highest value of the 203 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.

Import volume indexes are derived from UNCTAD's volume index series and are the ratio of the import value indexes to the corresponding unit value indexes. Unit value indexes are based on data reported by countries that demonstrate consistency under UNCTAD quality controls, supplemented by UNCTAD's estimates using the previous year's trade values at the Standard International Trade Classification three-digit level as weights.
