Atlas Honda in Pakistan holds almost 60 percent market share in bike sale in Pakistan. PAMA didn’t release figures for each Honda product, but it is safe to assume that CD70 is leading the chart sales for Honda.

On the contrary, the sales of Japanese bike maker Yamaha and Hero have declined significantly.

Moving onward, Karachi based assembler United Auto Motorcycle (UAM) broke its previous record of sales and production. The company sold 26,677 bikes in August 2016 and 36,084 in August 2017, which shows that the firm saw an increase of 35% on a month on month basis. It turns that Karachi based assembler United Auto Motorcycle has indeed reaped in the current month, selling more bikes than its competitors.
UAM saw more growth (35%) percentage wise than Atlas Honda (25%) in the month of August16′ vs August17′.
Aside from few companies not making progress in sales the overall picture for the industry of motorcycles in Pakistan looks good and promising. And we hope that the automobile industry will continue to show the upward trend in the future as well.
