Pakistan’s auto sector posted a strong year-on-year rebound in November 2025, with car sales including LCVs, vans, and jeeps jumping 51.9% to 15,442 units, according to PAMA. However, sales slipped 10.9% compared to October, reflecting ongoing market volatility despite improving annual momentum.

The auto industry continued its recovery during 5MFY26 as cumulative sales climbed 47.5% to 75,033 units compared to 50,856 units a year earlier. Rising production levels, improved supply chains, and better inventory flow have supported this upward trend. November alone saw total vehicle production touch 166,149 units, showing the sector’s expanding capacity.
