Pakistan’s auto industry showed a notable recovery in October 2025, with sales of cars, vans, pickups, and SUVs rising to 17,333 units — up 32% year-on-year (YoY) and 1% month-on-month (MoM), according to the latest industry data.
Topline Securities’ analyst Maeesha Sohail attributed the YoY increase to macroeconomic stability, the launch of new vehicle models, lower interest rates, easing inflation, and improved consumer confidence.
Month-on-month sales remained largely unchanged, primarily due to an 18% decline in sales by Pak Suzuki Motor Company (PSMC).
The automaker recently discontinued models including Ravi, Bolan, Every VX, and Wagon R, leading to sales drops of 17% in Swift, 84% in Ravi, and 28% in Every, while Bolan’s sales have been halted since May 2025.
During the first four months of FY2025-26, total automobile sales surged 46% to 59,600 units, compared to 40,693 units sold during the same period last year.
