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.
