MANILA, PHILIPPINES, AUGUST 12, 2025 – The Philippine motorcycle industry has maintained its robust growth trajectory in the second quarter of 2025, with total sales reaching 910,923 units, a significant increase of 4.8% compared to the 876,074 units sold in Q2 2024.
This consistent upward trend underscores the continuing demand for two-wheeled 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, MDPPA’s President.
The data, which compares Q2 2025 figures against the same period last year, reveals key shifts and sustained dominance across various motorcycle categories, namely, automatic, moped, street, business, big bikes, and niche motorcycle types.
The Q2 2025 results reinforce the Philippine motorcycle industry’s resilience and strong market demand. The overall growth of nearly 5% indicates a healthy and expanding market. The Automatic/Scooter category still leads the way in terms of model sales.
Furthermore, factors such as the continued need for personal mobility, ongoing economic recovery, and accessibility of financing options are expected to sustain this positive momentum throughout the year.
Industry stakeholders, including the Motorcycle Development Program Participants Association, Inc. (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, MDPPA’s Marketing Committee Chairperson.
