Mauritius Passenger Car Sales : 2026 (Jan-July)

Registrations were down 46% in July and -49 YTD! Higher duties on cars starting in July 2025 has led to a sales slump ever since. This sort of upheaval produces drastic movements and we see that here. The percentage movements listed below are crazy, even for a smaller market which usually has more volatility.

Suzuki went to the top in 2022 and stayed there since but this year both sales volume and market share have taken a real hit. The 2025 share below is for the complete year but already its experienced a 4.8% loss of market share, which is substantial.
