Car Sales Grow Despite Increase in Prices

All major auto manufacturers in Pakistan have increased the prices on their cars multiple times during the past few months. The primary reason being cited for this price increase is rupee’s devaluation against the US dollar.

Despite these price increases, car sales have continued to grow. Vehicle sales went up by 6,741 units cumulatively in March, compared to the sales from February. Overall, 153,051 units of bikes, three-wheelers, and other vehicles of different categories were sold during the last month as compared to the 146,310 units sold a month before that.

Let us take a look at the breakdown of sales for each company.

  • Shocked to see that Suzuki Mehran (Our Naitonal Car) still on top selling brand in Pakistan.

  • One of the main factor is population increase. (explosion of population).
    Selling more cars should not be a factor of pride for govt. it is in-fact a sign of worry for the govt and people because our roads and cities are designed for a limited traffic. if you don’t stop the car purchase, you have to build more roads, bridges, tunnels, etc… also sale of petrol will increase which will cause heavy pollution issues… and many other issues, this is why developed countries build public transport infrastructure and put heavy taxes on cars. to keep things in control…
