On an annual basis, total vehicle sales rose by 37.2 percent year on year (YoY) to 17,812 units in December 2025, compared with 12,981 units in December 2024, according to the report.

Total bus sales in 2025 increased by 53.6 percent YoY to 11,343 units, up from 7,387 units in 2024. Total truck sales in 2025 recorded the strongest growth, rising 112.5 percent YoY to 28,447 units, compared with 13,387 units in 2024.

Sales of completely knocked down (CKD) vehicles, which are assembled in Egypt from imported parts, increased by 65 percent year to date to 99,598 units. Sales of completely built units (CBU), which are fully imported vehicles, rose by 77.1 percent to 41,883 units over the same period.

Passenger car sales rose by 27.8 percent YoY in December 2025 to 13,566 units. Year-to-date CKD passenger car sales increased by 50.1 percent to 64,840 units, while CBU passenger car sales climbed by 80.6 percent to 69,133 units.

The automotive sector has shown recent stability as the Egyptian pound continues to strengthen against the US dollar. This follows a decision by the Central Bank of Egypt in March 2024 to raise overnight deposit and lending rates, as well as the main policy rate, by 600 basis points to 27.25 percent as part of its efforts to curb inflation.
