Pakistan Vehicle Sales Rise 40% in Fiscal Year 2025-26

The Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association reported a significant recovery in the national automobile industry for fiscal year 2025-26, with overall vehicle sales increasing by approximately 39% to 40%. This broad-based growth included passenger car sales reaching roughly 155,000 units, while jeeps and pickups rose 41% to 50,814 units. The commercial sector saw the sharpest surge, with truck and bus sales increasing between 61% and 67%.

Motorcycle and rickshaw sales grew 30% to nearly 1.97 million units. The tractor segment was the sole category to experience a decline, dropping 1% to 28,791 units. Industry analysts attribute the general rebound to easing inflation, lower interest rates, improved auto financing, and the introduction of new models.

Recent monthly data for June indicates a 13% increase in car sales compared to May. This specific spike is partially attributed to pre-budget buying, as consumers sought to purchase vehicles before the implementation of anticipated higher taxes.
