ISLAMABAD, Feb. 11 (Xinhua) -- Pakistan's auto sales climbed to a 43-month high in January, reflecting broad-based growth across key vehicle segments, according to data released by the Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (PAMA).
A significant increase in overall sales of two-, three- and four-wheelers was witnessed during the first seven months of the ongoing fiscal year (July 2025-January 2026), the PAMA said on Tuesday.
Sales of trucks and buses surged by 91 percent year-on-year to 4,633 units during the same period, while motorcycles and rickshaws rose by 32 percent to 1,103,356 units.
On a monthly basis, two- and three-wheeler sales jumped 31 percent year-on-year and 13 percent month-on-month to 181,790 units in January, marking an all-time high.
In contrast, farm tractor sales declined by 23 percent year-on-year to 15,434 units from July 2025 tp January 2026. January sales of tractors fell by 9 percent year-on-year and 26 percent month-on-month to 2,505 units.
Analysts said the recent surge in vehicle sales reflects a rebound in consumer demand after several years of subdued purchasing activity following the COVID-19 pandemic, as improving economic conditions encouraged buyers to replace old vehicles and make deferred purchases. ■
