This news story is a little old, but has some figures that may interest you:

Roughly, Pakistan's exports of auto parts - and "accessories" - were around $15-20 million per year until last year, according to this story.

However, according to this story, those numbers were much larger a few years ago:

"Total exports of auto parts from Pakistan in fiscal year 2011-12 were $128 million, up from $115 million in 2010-11 and $90 million in 2009-10."

If you read it carefully currently its 150M USD.

LAHORE: Pakistan Association of Automotive Parts and Accessories Manufacturers (PAAPAM) expects an increase in the auto parts’ exports to $5 billion in the next five years from the current exports of around $150 million, Mashood Ali Khan, senior vice chairman of PAAPAM, said this while talking to journalists on the second day of the event on Saturday.

If export figure surges, It will testify the claim.

Well, according to the Dawn story linked above:

"Auto parts and accessories exports declined to $2.83 million in July-September 2016 from $4m in the same period of 2015.

Total exports during 2015-16 fell to $14.5m from $20.3m in 2014-15, figures of Pakistan Bureau of Statistics stated.

Pakistan Association of Automotive Parts and Accessories (Paapam) Chairman Mashood Ali Khan said manufacturers focused more on meeting the surging demand of parts of locally produced vehicles due to which they could not concentrate on exports."

So what's the correct number?

What's more, whatever the number is presently, raising it to $5 billion is a tall order indeed, that needs lots of hard work, good wishes and luck.

How its possible in the same source u have mentioned in 2012 it was around 120Million USD so in 2 yars they dropped it to 14 Million USD. and how he is saying to increase from 14M to 5 B in 5 years. well it looks more accurate from 150M to 5B.

i just got it from official website its 175M currently.

Let me just say that Pakistan is presently not known to be a major auto parts exporting country. That may or may not change in the future.
