KARACHI: (Web Desk) – Pakistan’s automobile industry recorded strong growth during the first 11 months of the current fiscal year, with overall vehicle sales increasing by 45 percent compared to the same period last year, according to data from the Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association.
The report shows total vehicle sales reached 183,704 units between July and May of FY2025-26, reflecting a notable recovery in consumer demand and improved market activity.
Passenger car sales alone stood at 17,660 units in May 2026, marking a 19 percent year-on-year increase. However, on a month-to-month basis, sales fell by 20 percent, which analysts attributed mainly to reduced business activity during the Eid holiday period.

Sales of motorcycles and three-wheelers remained strong overall, reaching 172,433 units in May. Although this represented a decline of 13 percent year-on-year and 10 percent compared to April, cumulative sales for the first 11 months surged to 1.8 million units, showing a 30 percent annual increase.
Among leading manufacturers, Pak Suzuki Motor Company posted the strongest performance, with sales rising 75 percent year-on-year to 8,856 units in May. Honda Atlas Cars Pakistan also reported growth, selling 2,230 units, up 11 percent from the same period last year. In contrast, Hyundai Nishat Motor experienced a 31 percent decline, with sales falling to 902 units during the month.
Industry analysts say the overall recovery is being driven by improving consumer confidence, relatively stable macroeconomic conditions, and better financing options. Despite short-term fluctuations linked to seasonal factors such as Eid, the sector’s performance suggests sustained demand momentum in Pakistan’s auto market.
