Founded in 2006 in Argentina and the US, OLX group is the world leading online classifieds present in 45 countries, across six continents. At global level, over RS160 billion worth of goods get posted daily on OLX, out of which Rs100 billion worth of goods are sold each day making it the leading destination for online buyers and sellers.
After being launched in Pakistan in 2012, OLX became an instant hit and became the first and No.1 online classifieds marketplace in all categories. Intriguing TVCs of OLX Pakistan have touched the Pakistani people, who lovingly adopted the brand for selling and purchasing everything from cars to furniture, property to mobile phones, electronics to pets and the list goes on.
OLX has also contributed positively to the economy of Pakistan by recycling wealth amongst communities and generating employment opportunities for both men and women, enabling them to gain additional income while fulfilling their dreams of acquiring items which were not accessible to them otherwise.
Online shopping has become a growing business in Pakistan and has great potential for even further growth as online buying and selling is a new norm instead of doing rounds at shopping centers and overcrowded bazaars in traffic jams.
More and more buyers are enjoying comfort of online shopping owing to rise of smartphones and availability of easy internet connectivity in the country. According to the government’s statistics, Pakistan’s e-commerce sector has been doubling in size every year and is projected to surpass one billion dollars in 2020.

Celebrating the completion of five successful years in Pakistan, OLX is launching a special offer for customers who will post “Featured Ads†– for greater ads visibility and chance to sell 7 times faster by prioritizing the ad placement. Posting Featured Ads in April will make users eligible for a lucky draw for wining up to 5 laptops, 5 iPhones and as many motorbikes.
This is, however, just the beginning and the best is yet to come as OLX Pakistan is committed in serving the people of Pakistan by creating even more win-win exchanges in future.
