Lucky has emerged as the market leader in Pakistan last year from the number three
position previously (domestic market share rose to 16% from 8%). The timely

growing domestic demand. When peer group companies were busy with their
expansionary work on new projects, the timely expansion has helped the company
outperform industry domestic demand growth by a wide gap.
