Karachi: The Pakistani automobile sector is poised for robust growth, with the country’s four leading automakers expected to report a combined sales increase of 68% year-on-year for September 2025, according to a preview by JS Global. Indus Motors Company Ltd, Honda Atlas Cars Ltd, Pak Suzuki Motor Company Ltd, and Sazgar Engineering Works Ltd are projected to achieve sales of approximately 15,900 units.
On a month-on-month basis, vehicle sales are anticipated to rise by 25%, reflecting a strong upward trajectory in the sector. Factors contributing to this growth include improving macroeconomic conditions, increased consumer confidence, and a boost in auto financing facilitated by recent monetary easing measures.
In the first quarter of the fiscal year 2026, these automakers are expected to collectively post a 51% increase in sales compared to the same period last year. This growth is attributed to the favorable economic environment and strategic financial policies that have encouraged more consumers to invest in new vehicles.
However, the report notes that while local manufacturers are experiencing short-term relief due to a 40% regulatory duty on used car imports, concerns remain about the long-term impact of policy changes. The duties on used car imports are slated to be completely phased out by 2029, which could alter the competitive landscape for domestic producers.
The current market dynamics underscore a pivotal period for the automotive industry in Pakistan, as domestic producers navigate both immediate opportunities and future challenges.
