The Pakistani auto industry is showing strong recovery as Pakistan Car Sales Growth surged 62% year-on-year (YoY) in August 2025, reaching 14,050 units, according to the Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (PAMA). On a month-on-month (MoM) basis, sales climbed 27%, despite disruptions caused by flooding in several regions.
Factors Driving the Surge
Industry experts attribute the rebound to lower interest rates, easing inflation, improved consumer confidence, and the launch of new vehicle variants. For the first two months of FY26, cumulative car sales totaled 25,093 units, up 45% YoY compared to 17,288 units in 2MFY25, data from Topline Securities revealed.
