Motorcycle sales surge 42% in Pakistan in August 2025

Sales of motorcycles and three-wheelers in Pakistan reached 148,063 units in August 2025, marking a 42 per cent year-on-year increase and a 19 per cent rise compared to July, according to data released by the Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (PAMA).

During the first two months of the current fiscal year (July–August FY26), total sales stood at 273,000 units, reflecting a 44 per cent increase over the same period last year, figures compiled by Topline Securities showed.

Analysts attribute the surge in demand to easing inflationary pressures, stronger rural demand, and more affordable financing options for two-wheelers compared to cars.

Motorcycles and rickshaws remain a vital part of Pakistan’s transport network, particularly in urban and semi-urban centers, where they are used both for daily commuting and commercial purposes.

Despite earlier challenges posed by inflation and floods, industry experts expect demand for motorcycles and three-wheelers to remain strong throughout FY26, supported by affordability and the growing need for cost-effective transport solutions.

The sale of cars during the first month of the current financial year 2025-26 has increased by 21.82 per cent as compared to the same month of last year, said Pakistan Automobile Manufacturing Association (PAMA).

According to the data, as many as 7,135 cars were sold during the month under review as opposed to 5,857 units in the same month of last year.

The breakup figures showed that 1,143 units of Honda Civic and City were sold during the month under review as compared to the sale of 790 units last year.

Toyota Corolla and Yaris cars sales also increased by 118.62 per cent as it went up to 2,418 units from 1,106 units in July of the previous year.
