Market Trend

The Pakistani car market this year recovered extremely effectively from the pandemic crash of 2020 and reported a very positive performance all year, with the largest growth in Q2 due to the low levels of Q2 2020.

The market has been unstable in the 2010-2014 period of time, registering a sharp fall in 2013, before embarking on a positive pathway in the following years.
