Car sales in Pakistan declined 5% month-on-month in April 2025 but posted a modest 1% increase compared to the same month last year, according to data released by the Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (PAMA).
A total of 10,596 passenger vehicles were sold during the month.
The monthly decline was largely attributed to highway closures in Sindh, which disrupted deliveries and affected sales momentum.
Despite the short-term setback, analysts say year-on-year growth reflects a stable macroeconomic environment, falling interest rates, easing inflation, and improved consumer confidence.
New model launches and variant upgrades also contributed to demand.
In the ten months of the current fiscal year (10MFY25), total car sales surged 40% to 111,464 units compared to 79,596 units during the same period last year.
Among manufacturers, Sazgar Engineering (SAZEW) posted the steepest monthly decline at 42%, selling 549 units in April.
However, the company’s cumulative sales rose 130% year-on-year to 8,576 units, bolstered by its Haval lineup.
Pak Suzuki Motor Company saw sales fall 12% month-on-month and 33% year-on-year to 4,003 units.
In contrast, Honda Atlas Cars grew 20% month-on-month and 70% year-on-year, reaching 1,707 units.
Indus Motor Company reported a 4% monthly increase and 58% annual growth, while Hyundai Nishat posted a 9% year-on-year rise but slipped 5% from March.
The two- and three-wheeler segment performed strongly, up 26% year-on-year and 6% month-on-month to 135,721 units, pushing 10-month sales to 1.2 million units, up 30% from the previous year.
Tractor sales fell 48% year-on-year in April to 1,602 units amid weaker farm economics.
Meanwhile, truck and bus sales jumped 127% year-on-year and 13% month-on-month to 520 units, with 10-month figures rising 85% to 3,885 units.
