Vehicle sales rose to 12.3k units in April, up 14.8% m-o-m from 10.8kin March, according to figures from the Automotive Marketing Information Council (Amic) seen by EnterpriseAM. The uptick reflects continued momentum in Egypt’s auto market, which has been staging a steady recovery since February, which kicked off following a 22.0% drop in January.

Passenger vehicle sales climbed 17.7% m-o-m to 9.8k units in April, extending gains from the previous month. Truck sales were also up 8.9% m-o-m to 1.9k units. Buses were the only segment to see a drop, falling 6.6% m-o-m to 641 units.

April’s figures represent a significant improvement compared to the same month lastyear, as total auto sales jumped 117.7% y-o-y, with passenger vehicles rising 116.2%, buses up 94.8%, and trucks soaring 135.7% compared to the same period last year. April 2025 saw 12.3k units sold compared to 5.7k in April 2024.

REMEMBER- Auto sales saw a partial recovery last year, growing some 13.2% y-o-y with some 102.2k vehicles sold throughout the year after the market got the chance to catch its breath after a turbulent period triggered by an FX crunch that limited supply in the market and gave distributors leverage to hike prices as they pleased.

A caveat to the numbers: Amic figures are sourced from member distributors, representing the bulk — but not the entirety — of the industry.
