Production of assembled vehicles in Kenya

Kenya’s automotive assembly sector experienced a 14.58% decline in 2024, the sharpest drop in seven years, with production falling to 11,555 vehicles.

This downturn contrasts with the peak of 13,527 units in 2023, signalling volatility in the industry.

Factors such as competition from cheaper imported used cars, high production costs, and economic pressures may have contributed to the slump.
