In July, the number of cars, pickups, vans and jeeps sold in Pakistan increased by 79 percent compared to the same month last year, reaching 19,818 units. However, the sales declined by 13 percent from the previous month. This significant year-on-year rise was attributed to the entry of new players, introduction of new products and a surge in auto financing.
The reduction in sales from the previous month was mainly due to uncertainty surrounding the new auto policy, according to Myesha Sohail, analyst at Topline Securities. She anticipates continued positive momentum in auto sales for the fiscal year 2027, with double-digit growth driven by new variants and the entry of new brands in the market.
