Last month saw a decisive recovery, with total vehicle sales of 1 523 units advancing 14.6% year-on-year from 1 329 units in June 2025 and a robust 30.4% month-on-month from May’s 1 168 units.

The June result is the strongest June reading since 2017 and the fourth month in 2026 to exceed 1 200 units, a threshold the Namibian market crossed only once in all of 2024.
June’s strength is not a recovery from an anomaly; it is confirmation that the market is operating from a structurally higher base, Simonis Storm said.
