New vehicle sales registered a surprise 9 per cent growth in January 2021 compared with the same month in 2020.
Figures by Motor Industry Association (KMIA) released Wednesday shows that the industry sold 858 units in January this year compared to 805 sold in the same month last year – signaling a gradual recovery in the sector that was harshly hit by the global pandemic.
New vehicle sales in Kenya dropped 14.6 percent last year, hit by a sluggish economy that was triggered by the coronavirus pandemic. The industry sold 11,086 vehicles in 2020, down from 12,981 in the previous year.
