Motorcycle sales still increase

The Philippine motorcycle industry registered total sales of 910,923 units for the second quarter of 2025, a significant increase of 4.8 percent compared to the 876,074 units sold in the same period last year.

This consistent upward trend underscored the continuing demand for 2-wheel vehicles in the country, largely fueled by their affordability, efficiency, and role in navigating congested urban environments.

“Filipinos continue to see two-wheeled vehicles as a practical solution to daily commuting challenges, as their affordability, fuel efficiency, and ability to weave through heavy traffic, among other advantages, make them an essential choice for urban mobility,” said Alex Cumpas, the president of the Motorcycle Development Program Participants Association, Inc. 

  The data also reveals key shifts and sustained dominance across various motorcycle categories, namely, automatic, moped, street, business, big bikes, and niche motorcycle types.

Industry stakeholders, including the MDPPA and its member brands Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, and TVS have expressed optimism for continued growth in 2025, projecting a 5% increase for the entire year.

“We remain optimistic about the continued growth of motorcycle sales in the Philippines for this year, driven by strong consumer demand, expanding delivery and mobility services, and the consistently growing appeal of motorcycles as a cost-effective personal transport option across both urban and rural areas,” said Toni Boi Acuesta, the MDPPA’s marketing committee chairperson.
