Pakistani creators shine on global stage, captivate YouTube audiences in 2025

WEB DESK: Pakistani creative talent is making waves on the global digital stage, with local YouTube creators, artists, and storytellers capturing international attention throughout 2025. As Pakistan steps into 2026, the country’s content ecosystem is not only thriving domestically but also winning hearts across the world.

Statistics highlight this growth: over 95,000 Pakistani channels surpassed 10,000 subscribers, more than 13,000 channels crossed the 100,000-subscriber mark, and over 1,000 channels achieved the coveted one-million-subscriber milestone, demonstrating the global appeal and quality of Pakistani content. Impressively, more than 60percent of total watch time comes from international audiences, spanning cities from Karachi to Kuala Lumpur and Lahore to London.

Google’s Regional Director for Business Operations, Farhan Qureshi said, “Pakistani creators are producing stories and perspectives that resonate across continents. They are building sustainable businesses, creating jobs, and contributing meaningfully to Pakistan’s digital economy.”

Pakistani creators are excelling across genres, from high-production game shows like Shahveer Jafry’s Mafia and food content by Rana Hamza Saif, to travel series such as WildLens by Abrar and fashion/fashion-tech content like Hamna’s Gram and Glow Up with Mah Noor. Educational content, or edutainment, is also flourishing, with channels like Minoqtopus, Pakistan & Counting, and Thought Behind Things breaking down complex topics for global audiences.

This surge is more than entertainment, it’s cultural exchange, economic empowerment, and a bridge between Pakistan and the world. Pakistani creators are transforming passion into profession, cultivating communities, and proving that compelling storytelling knows no borders.

The momentum of Pakistan’s YouTube community shows no sign of slowing, reinforcing that authentic voices can find audiences anywhere in the world.
