Pakistan’s automotive sector, particularly the two- and three-wheeler segment, witnessed remarkable growth in June 2025. According to fresh figures released by the Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (PAMA), total industry sales for motorcycles and three-wheelers surged by 54% year-on-year, reflecting a notable recovery in consumer demand and production activity.
The strong uptick in sales highlights renewed momentum in the low-cost mobility segment—an area crucial for personal and commercial transport in both urban and rural Pakistan.
Honda Leads Market, United Motors Posts Record Surge
Honda retained its dominant position in the motorcycle segment, continuing to be the brand of choice for most Pakistani riders. While Honda maintained its market leadership through consistent performance and widespread distribution, United Auto Industries emerged as the biggest winner in terms of growth.
United’s motorcycle sales more than tripled compared to the same month last year, showcasing a staggering increase that outpaced all competitors. This surge is attributed to improved supply chains, increased consumer confidence, and the company’s aggressive pricing and dealership strategies.
Three-Wheeler Sales: Qingqi and Road Prince Shine
The three-wheeler segment also saw robust growth in June. Brands such as Qingqi and Road Prince posted impressive gains, with each more than doubling their unit sales year-on-year. The performance signals a rebound in the demand for affordable and efficient urban and peri-urban transport, particularly among commercial users like rickshaw drivers and small-scale logistics operators.
These three-wheeler manufacturers have benefited from lower financing costs, steady fuel prices, and supportive import policies that eased production constraints earlier in the year.

Factors Driving the Market Rebound
Several macro and industry-specific factors contributed to this market resurgence:
- Economic Stabilization: Easing inflationary pressures and improved macroeconomic indicators encouraged consumer spending.
- Increased Mobility Needs: With business and educational activities returning to full swing post-pandemic, demand for personal and commercial mobility has spiked.
- Production Recovery: Local manufacturers managed to ramp up production after resolving earlier supply chain disruptions, especially those related to imported parts.
- Affordability: Two- and three-wheelers remain the most economical means of transport for the masses, and financing schemes have made them more accessible.
Outlook: Optimism for the Second Half of 2025
Industry experts believe the momentum is likely to continue into the second half of 2025, provided that economic stability is maintained and interest rates remain favorable. Some forecasts suggest that if current growth trends persist, full-year sales could surpass pre-pandemic levels, restoring investor confidence in the sector.
Manufacturers are also expected to introduce newer models and possibly electric variants to tap into evolving consumer preferences, especially as fuel efficiency and cost savings remain top priorities.
