How Overseas Pakistanis Can Buy, Sell & Promote Products and Services in Pakistan
A data-driven guide to how the world’s sixth-largest diaspora stays economically connected to home — and why online classifieds have quietly become one of the most practical tools for doing it.
Introduction: A Diaspora That Never Really Left
Pakistan has one of the largest overseas populations of any country in the world. Depending on which government dataset you consult, somewhere between 9 and nearly 11 million Pakistanis currently live, work, or study outside the country — a population roughly the size of Sweden, scattered across the Gulf, North America, Europe, and beyond.[1] What makes this diaspora unusual isn’t just its size. It’s how tightly it remains woven into Pakistan’s economic and emotional fabric. Overseas Pakistanis sent home a record $41.6 billion in remittances during fiscal year 2025–26 — 8.6% more than the year before, and enough to exceed the country’s entire export earnings for the same period.[2]
But money transfers are only part of the story. Millions of overseas Pakistanis also own something back home: a family plot in Gujranwala, an apartment in DHA Karachi, a car parked at a sibling’s house in Lahore, a set of unused furniture from a home they left years ago, or simply a skill — accounting, software development, medical consulting — that Pakistani clients would happily pay for if they knew how to reach them. Many run businesses abroad and want to source staff, distributors, or partners in Pakistan. Others have built successful careers overseas and want to offer their expertise back home, remotely.
Historically, doing any of this from abroad has been clumsy. You call a cousin, who calls a broker, who may or may not represent your interests well. You post in a Facebook group and hope. You wait until your next trip home to deal with it in person — sometimes for years. Online classifieds platforms solve this specific problem: they let you list a property, a car, a product, or a service, describe it accurately, attach real photos, and let genuinely interested buyers in Pakistan reach out directly — without needing to be physically present. This is where a platform like Adjungle.pk, a nationwide Pakistani classifieds marketplace, fits into the picture: not as a replacement for trusted family networks, but as a way to reach far more verified buyers than any single network ever could.
Pakistan’s Overseas Diaspora, by the Numbers
To understand the opportunity, it helps to look at the scale involved. Pakistan’s Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development has previously estimated the diaspora at around 8.8 million, while the Bureau of Emigration & Overseas Employment reported in 2023 that more than 10.8 million Pakistanis have emigrated for work since 1990 — a cumulative figure that includes both current and returned migrants.[1] Independent demographic trackers place the currently resident overseas population at just under 10 million.[1] The single largest concentration — over 4.7 million people — lives in the Middle East, with the United Kingdom anchoring the largest community in Europe.[3]
The remittance trend also tells you where the deepest economic ties are concentrated. In FY2025–26, Saudi Arabia remained the single largest source of inflows at $9.78 billion, followed by the UAE at $8.81 billion, the United Kingdom at $6.33 billion, and EU countries combined at $5.23 billion — the fastest-growing corridor at 15% year-on-year. The United States, by contrast, sent slightly less than the year before, at roughly $3.62 billion.[2][4] These are the same communities most likely to have property, vehicles, or business interests sitting idle in Pakistan.
| Country | Est. Pakistani Population | Major Cities | Typical Occupations | Potential Products/Services to Sell in Pakistan |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Saudi Arabia | ~1.81 million | Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam | Construction, healthcare, skilled trades, retail | Property, real estate investment, gold/jewelry, construction equipment |
| United Arab Emirates | ~1.6 million | Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah | Trade, logistics, hospitality, finance | Electronics, imported fashion, property, business consultancy |
| United Kingdom | ~1.66 million | London, Birmingham, Bradford, Manchester | Business ownership, NHS healthcare, transport, retail | Property, used cars, franchise concepts, education consultancy |
| United States | ~684,000 | New York, Houston, Chicago, California | IT, medicine, engineering, small business | Tech gadgets, medical equipment, franchising, remote consultancy |
| Canada | ~303,000 | Toronto (Mississauga/Brampton), Vancouver, Calgary | IT, trucking/logistics, healthcare, real estate | Real estate investment, imported goods, remote/education services |
| Qatar | ~236,000 | Doha | Construction, oil & gas, aviation, hospitality | Property, vehicles, local business investment |

| Australia | ~90,000–120,000 | Sydney, Melbourne, Perth | IT, healthcare, education, business | Property, education consultancy, specialty imports |
| Germany | ~140,000 | Frankfurt, Berlin, Munich | Engineering, IT, academia | Industrial machinery, automotive parts, tech consultancy |
| Italy | ~162,000 | Milan, Brescia, Rome | Manufacturing, textiles, agriculture | Textile machinery, leather goods, fashion |
| France | ~100,000 | Paris and suburbs | Trade, hospitality, small business | Fashion, cosmetics, imported perfumes |
| Norway | ~46,000 | Oslo | Business, trade, public sector | Property, consultancy, niche imports |
| Malaysia | ~149,000 | Kuala Lumpur | Trade, education, hospitality | Education consultancy, halal food trade, sourcing |
| South Africa | ~150,000–200,000 | Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban | Retail trade, small business | Textiles, general trading goods, property |
Population figures are estimates compiled from national census bureaus, Pakistan’s Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis & HRD, and the Pakistani-diaspora demographic record; they vary by source and year and should be treated as approximate.[1][3]
Why Overseas Pakistanis Should Advertise in Pakistan
The motivations for listing something in Pakistan while living abroad tend to fall into a few recurring categories, and most overseas Pakistanis will recognize at least one of them.
Property and assets. Inherited homes, ancestral plots, commercial shops, and residential apartments are among the most common reasons overseas Pakistanis need a local buyer. A family in Toronto that inherits a house in Faisalabad after a parent’s passing doesn’t want it sitting vacant and depreciating — they want a fair, transparent way to reach genuine local buyers rather than relying on a single local agent’s limited network.
Vehicles. Cars registered in Pakistan but left with relatives are another frequent case — someone who emigrated five years ago may still own a car that’s simply parked and unused, worth selling before its value erodes further.
Business, hiring, and partnerships. A growing number of overseas Pakistanis run companies abroad and want to hire remote staff in Pakistan, find local distributors, open a franchise, or bring in a business partner who can manage day-to-day operations on the ground.
Imported goods and wholesale products. Electronics, cosmetics, fashion, industrial and agricultural machinery, and specialty imports (from luxury goods to medical equipment) often have real demand in Pakistan but no easy retail channel — classifieds fill that gap for individuals and small importers alike.
Professional and remote services. Consultancy, legal advice, immigration guidance, accounting, IT services, software development, graphic design, digital marketing, coaching, and tuition are all things an overseas Pakistani can deliver entirely online — but only if Pakistani clients know the service exists and can find it.
Did you know?
Workers’ remittances into Pakistan surpassed the country’s total export earnings in FY2025–26 — meaning money sent home by overseas Pakistanis is now a larger economic force than everything Pakistan sells abroad combined.[5]
Why Pakistan Is a Genuinely Large Market
None of this matters much if the market on the receiving end is small. It isn’t. Pakistan is the world’s fifth most populous country, with an estimated 259.3 million people in 2026 and a median age of just under 21 — one of the youngest large populations anywhere.[6] Roughly 35% of that population, about 90 million people, now lives in urban areas, and the share keeps climbing every year.[6]
Digitally, Pakistan has crossed several meaningful thresholds. By late 2025, there were 117 million internet users (45.6% of the population) and 194 million active cellular connections (75.9% of the population), according to DataReportal’s Digital 2026 report.[7] Social media usage stood at roughly 79.9 million user identities (31.2% of the population) as of late 2025, with Facebook alone reaching close to 68 million users and Instagram around 24 million as of early 2026.[7][8]
| Metric | Figure | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Total population (2026) | ~259.3 million | UN World Population Prospects / Worldometer |
| Median age | ~20.8–21.8 years | UN World Population Prospects |
| Urban population | ~90 million (≈35%) | UN / Worldometer |
| Internet users (end of 2025) | 117 million (45.6% penetration) | DataReportal, Digital 2026: Pakistan |
| Mobile connections (end of 2025) | 194 million (75.9% of population) | DataReportal, Digital 2026: Pakistan |
| Social media users (late 2025) | ~79.9 million (31.2% of population) | DataReportal, Digital 2026: Pakistan |
| Workers’ remittances, FY2025–26 | $41.6 billion (record, +8.6% YoY) | State Bank of Pakistan |
E-commerce is riding the same wave. Estimates of Pakistan’s e-commerce market vary by methodology — figures for 2025 range from roughly $6 billion to over $9 billion depending on the source and definition used, with most forecasters projecting continued double-digit annual growth through the rest of the decade.[9] Over 70% of e-commerce traffic in the country is now mobile, and social commerce through Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and WhatsApp continues to expand as a parallel sales channel.[9] Put simply: a huge, young, increasingly online population is actively looking to buy — and classifieds sit right at the entry point of that behavior, ahead of the more curated, fee-heavy world of branded e-commerce stores.
Most Popular Classified Categories in Pakistan
Not every category performs the same way. Some, like cars and property, are consistently high-value and high-intent; others, like books or pets, are lower-value but high-volume. Understanding where a given listing fits helps set the right expectations.
| Category | Demand | Typical Buyers | Price Range (PKR) | Seasonality |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cars | Very High | Families, young professionals | 800,000 – 15,000,000+ | Peaks before Eid & new fiscal year |
| Motorcycles | Very High | Students, commuters, riders | 90,000 – 600,000 | Steady, mild spring/summer peak |
| Property | Very High | Families, investors, overseas buyers | 2,000,000 – 200,000,000+ | Active year-round; peaks near Eid/summer visits |
| Mobile Phones | Very High | Students, professionals, resellers | 15,000 – 500,000 | Peaks around new model launches, Eid |

| Home Appliances | High | New households, landlords | 10,000 – 250,000 | Peaks around summer & wedding season |
| Furniture | High | Families, new homeowners, offices | 5,000 – 500,000 | Steady, spikes with house moves |
| Fashion | High | Young adults, gift buyers | 500 – 50,000 | Strong Eid & wedding-season demand |
| Jobs | Very High | Job seekers, employers | N/A | Steady, peaks after graduations |
| Services | Very High | Households, businesses | Varies widely | Steady year-round |
| Pets | Moderate | Hobbyists, families | 1,000 – 100,000 | Seasonal breed-dependent spikes |
| Books | Moderate | Students, academics | 200 – 5,000 | Peaks near academic term start |
| Sports Equipment | Moderate | Students, clubs, gyms | 1,000 – 100,000 | Seasonal by sport |
| Construction Materials | High | Builders, contractors, homeowners | Varies widely | Peaks in dry/construction season |
| Industrial Machinery | Moderate–High | Manufacturers, SMEs | 100,000 – 10,000,000+ | Steady, tied to industrial demand |
| Agriculture | Moderate | Farmers, agri-businesses | Varies widely | Tied to sowing/harvest cycles |
| Business Opportunities | High | Entrepreneurs, investors | Varies widely | Steady year-round |
| Education | High | Students, parents | Varies widely | Peaks before academic sessions |

| Events | Moderate | Families, planners | Varies widely | Wedding-season peaks |
| Community | Steady | Local residents, groups | N/A | Steady year-round |
For overseas Pakistanis specifically, the categories with the clearest payoff are usually property, cars, business opportunities, and services — all high-value listings where buyers are actively searching and where a well-written, well-photographed ad from a credible seller stands out immediately. Prices above are broad market ranges for orientation, not fixed figures, and vary by city, condition, and negotiation.
Why Adjungle.pk Is Well-Suited to This
Set aside the marketing language for a moment and look at what actually matters for someone posting from abroad: does the platform reach real buyers, and does it cost time or money you don’t have to spare while managing this remotely? On both counts, a nationwide, mobile-first classifieds model like Adjungle.pk’s is built around removing friction rather than adding it.
Ad posting is free, with no cap on how many listings an individual or business account can run at once, and listings are organized by category and city so buyers searching for a specific product in a specific location — say, a used Corolla in Lahore, or a two-bedroom flat in Karachi’s Clifton — find relevant results rather than a generic national feed. The platform is fully usable on mobile, backed by a dedicated Android app, which matters given how much of Pakistan’s internet usage is now mobile-first. Posting itself is a short, guided process: pick a category, set a location, add photos, write a description and price, and publish — new listings typically go live after a fast review, not a multi-day approval queue. Because buyers message sellers directly, there’s no middleman commission cutting into a sale, and no expensive subscription tier standing between a first-time seller and their first listing. That combination — free, fast, mobile, and location-aware — is precisely what makes a classifieds model useful to someone managing a sale from a different time zone.
Products Overseas Pakistanis Can Sell
The range of sellable products is wider than most people assume — it isn’t limited to used household items. Here’s how the opportunity breaks down by category.
| Category | Examples | Likely Buyers | Selling Potential |
|---|---|---|---|
| Imported Luxury & Lifestyle | Perfumes, luxury watches, designer handbags, imported chocolates | Urban professionals, gift buyers | High margin, strong Eid/wedding demand |
| Electronics & Tech | Laptops, MacBooks, phones, gaming consoles, cameras | Students, professionals, resellers | Very high; fast-moving category |
| Home & Kitchen | Coffee machines, kitchen appliances, home décor, office furniture | New households, small offices | Steady, moderate-to-high |
| Vehicles & Heavy Equipment | Cars, SUVs, commercial vehicles, generators, solar systems | Families, businesses, contractors | Very high value per sale |
| Medical & Industrial | Medical equipment, industrial machinery, farm equipment, gym equipment | Clinics, factories, farms, gyms | High value, B2B-oriented |
| Fashion & Beauty | Shoes, baby products, cosmetics, supplements, fitness gear | Young adults, parents, fitness market | High volume, recurring demand |
| Collectibles & Specialty | Art, coins, antiques, books, restaurant equipment | Collectors, restaurateurs, niche buyers | Moderate but low-competition |
A practical example: someone based in Dubai who regularly travels with excess baggage allowance could list a small batch of imported electronics or cosmetics each time they visit, using pre-orders gathered through their ad to plan exactly what to bring — turning periodic trips into a predictable, low-overhead side income rather than a one-off favor for relatives.
Services Overseas Pakistanis Can Offer
Services are arguably the most underused opportunity for the diaspora, because they require no shipping, no customs, and no physical presence at all — only a listing that Pakistani clients can find.
- Business & finance: business consulting, accounting, remote CFO services, tax advisory, investment consulting
- Technology: IT consulting, cloud services, app and website development, SEO, performance and digital marketing
- Creative & technical: graphic design, animation, translation, architecture, interior design, engineering
- Education: IELTS/OET coaching, online tuition, professional training and coaching
- Professional consultation: medical consultation, legal consultation, immigration and visa consultancy
- Trade & travel: freight forwarding, import-export facilitation, recruitment services, travel agency services, real estate consulting
A software architect in Berlin, for instance, could offer part-time technical consulting to Pakistani startups; a UK-based immigration paralegal could run a visa-guidance service for Pakistani students; a Toronto-based accountant could offer bookkeeping support to small Pakistani exporters. None of this requires relocating — only a clear, discoverable listing and a way for interested clients to make contact.
Success Scenarios (Illustrative Examples)
The following are illustrative, composite scenarios meant to show how this plays out in practice — not real individuals.
The inherited apartment, sold from Dubai
A family based in Dubai inherits an apartment in Lahore after a parent passes away. Rather than relying solely on a single local agent, they list the property themselves with clear photos and documentation, and field inquiries directly from interested Pakistani buyers before finalizing a sale with the help of a local lawyer.
The electronics importer in Toronto
An entrepreneur in Canada who frequently visits Pakistan starts listing a curated selection of imported electronics ahead of each trip, using early inquiries to gauge demand and plan inventory before he even boards the flight.
The doctor offering remote consultations from London
A UK-based Pakistani physician lists an online consultation service for patients back home who want a second opinion, building a small but steady client base entirely through word of mouth from a single well-written listing.
The furniture designer in Sydney
A furniture designer in Australia partners with a small Pakistani workshop to produce handmade pieces to her designs, then lists finished items for sale to buyers in Pakistan, managing the business remotely.
The restaurant owner hiring from Saudi Arabia
A restaurant owner in Jeddah planning to open a second branch in Pakistan posts a hiring listing for kitchen and floor staff, screening applicants remotely before finalizing hires during his next visit.
The US tech company hiring Pakistani developers
A small software company based in the United States posts openings for Pakistani developers, tapping directly into local technical talent without going through an expensive recruitment agency.
The exporter in Germany finding a distributor
An exporter based in Germany looking to sell industrial parts into Pakistan lists a distributor-wanted ad, connecting with several regional trading businesses interested in representing the product line.
Step-by-Step: How to Post an Ad on Adjungle.pk
- Create an account. Sign up with an email or phone number — this takes a minute and lets you manage all your listings from one dashboard, even while abroad.
- Choose the right category. Property, vehicles, electronics, jobs, services — picking the correct category is what puts your ad in front of buyers actually searching for it.
- Select the city or location. Buyers filter by city first, so accurate location tagging (down to the neighborhood, where relevant) directly affects how many relevant views your ad gets.
- Upload clear photos. Real, well-lit photos consistently outperform stock or borrowed images — for property and vehicles especially, this is often the single biggest factor in buyer trust.
- Write a specific, honest title. “3-Bed Flat, DHA Phase 6, Karachi — Ready to Move” outperforms a vague title every time.
- Write a clear description. Cover condition, key details, and anything a buyer would ask about anyway — it reduces back-and-forth and filters in serious inquiries.
- Set a realistic price. Cross-check similar listings in the same category and city before pricing; overpriced ads simply get ignored.
- Publish the listing. Once submitted, ads typically go live after a quick review.
- Respond to buyers promptly. Fast, clear responses are what convert inquiries into actual sales — especially important when you’re managing this across time zones.
- Follow basic safety practices. Verify buyer identity where possible, avoid sharing sensitive financial details upfront, prefer traceable payment methods, and involve a trusted local contact or lawyer for any high-value transaction like property or vehicles.

The scale of Pakistan’s overseas population, the size of the remittance economy it sustains, and the rapid digitization of Pakistan itself have created a genuine opportunity that didn’t exist a decade ago: overseas Pakistanis no longer need to be physically present, or rely entirely on informal networks, to buy, sell, hire, or advertise in the country they still call home. A nationwide classifieds platform like Adjungle.pk exists specifically to close that distance — turning a property sale, a vehicle listing, a hiring drive, or a remote service into something that can be managed with a phone, a few clear photos, and an honest description, from Dubai, Toronto, London, or anywhere else the diaspora has settled.
