Deregulation:
Until the early 1990s, the industry was highly regulated. Following
deregulation, the decade witnessed a massive boom in auto
production, as nationalization was abandoned in favor of privatization.
Japan acquired 40% of the shares of Pak Suzuki in 1991. In 1993, the
Indus Motor Company began production of Toyota Corollas. 1994 saw
the creation of the Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association,
and Honda
Atlas introduced manufacturing of the Honda Civic. In 1995, the
Engineering Development Board inaugurated the PAP show.
From 2001 to 2007, small assemblers and many bike importers
started assembling replicas of the Honda CD70. With collaboration from
China, the Association of Pakistan Motorcycle Assemblers (APMA)
was established. Mr. Muhammad Sabir Shaikh, who started Chinese-
based replicas, was the First Chairman of the APMA in 2002.
After 2003, the annual production of motorcycles increased at record
rates, reaching a peak of 195,688 sales in 2007, and in 2015,
production crossed 2.5 million units annually. During this period, Afzal
Motors began the local assembly of Daewoo buses and trucks under
license from Daewoo Bus, South Korea, and Tata Daewoo thanks to
rising car financing up to 70–80% by banks and low-interest rates
coupled with increasing rural purchases.
From 2007 to 2009, the auto sector witnessed reduced sales amid high-
interest rates and yen appreciation against the rupee.
In 2007, the automotive industry made up 2.8% of Pakistan's GDP and
contributed 16% to the manufacturing sector. The 2000s also saw the
introduction of dual fuel options to run on petrol
and CNG, which is more affordable and cheaper than petrol in the
country.
Rapid growth:
4. In 2010, auto sales rebounded and began increasing again. The auto
industry predicted a growing demand in Pakistan and invested over Rs. 20
billion (US$88 million) during this decade.
Motorcycle production hit a record level in 2016–17, with 2.5 million
units made in total. 2015 introduced Auto Policy 2016-21 to help lure new
automakers, historically dominated by Honda, Toyota, and Suzuki.
The auto industry remains the second-largest payer of indirect taxes
after the petroleum industry in Pakistan. There are ten cars for every 1,000
people in Pakistan. This is one of the lowest ratios among emerging
economies, which speaks of high growth potential.
Rising per capita income, changing demographic distribution, and an
anticipated influx of 30 to 40 million young people in the economically-
active workforce within the next decade will boost the industry.
Alongside the drastic increase in the middle class.Toyota started the
local assembly of its sedan, Corolla. Similarly, United Motors started a
locally-made car. Ghandhara Nissan started the production of the Isuzu D-
max in Pakistan.
