Pakistan’s automobile market posted strong growth in May 2025, with total car sales clocking in at 14,762 units—up 35% year-on-year (YoY) and 39% month-on-month (MoM), according to data by the Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (PAMA). This lifted the 11-month (Jul-May) cumulative car sales to 126,226 units, a 39% increase from the same period last year.
The increase was driven by improved macroeconomic conditions, including lower interest rates, easing inflation, and better consumer sentiment. Car sales also rebounded from April’s subdued numbers, which were affected by road closures and delivery delays due to strikes and law and order issues in Sindh.
Among automakers, Indus Motor Company (INDU) saw the strongest performance, posting a 2.4x YoY and 48% MoM jump to 4,829 units in May — the highest monthly sales in nearly three years, fuelled by demand for Corolla, Yaris, and Cross variants.
Honda Atlas Cars (HCAR) also recorded a 69% YoY and 17% MoM increase, delivering 2,005 units. Pak Suzuki Motor Company (PSMC), the market leader, saw a decline of 8% YoY but gained 38% MoM to reach 5,519 units. Hyundai Nishat saw a 58% YoY and 45% MoM rise.
Sazgar Engineering Works (SAZEW) posted the highest MoM jump of 67%, rising to 919 units, supported by the April launch of a new HAVAL variant. Its 11MFY25 sales surged 111% YoY to 9,495 units.
Two- and three-wheeler sales also surged to 150,175 units in May 2025 — up 26% YoY and 11% MoM — marking a three-year high. For 11MFY25, sales reached 1.38 million units, 30% higher than last year. Atlas Honda led with 130,240 units in May.
In the commercial segment, truck and bus sales rose 147% YoY and 17% MoM to 610 units, taking 11MFY25 volumes to 4,495 units — a 92% rise from 2,345 units last year.
Tractor sales, however, saw a mixed trend. Total sales in May were 2,184 units, up 29% YoY, but Millat Tractors posted a 34% drop to 1,569 units due to weak farm economics. AGTL sold 615 units, up from 743 in April.
