PH Motorcycle Sales Rev Up by 4.8% in Q2 2025

The Philippine motorcycle market is showing significant growth, according to the Motorcycle Development Program Participants Association, Inc. (MDPPA). Sales surged to 910,923 units in the second quarter of 2025, up by 4.8% from the 876,074 units sold during the same period last year.

The steady climb reflects Filipinos’ growing preference for two-wheeled transport, driven by affordability, fuel efficiency, and the ability to beat city traffic.

“Filipinos continue to see two-wheeled vehicles as a practical solution to daily commuting challenges,” said MDPPA President Alex Cumpas. “Their affordability, fuel efficiency, and agility make them an essential choice for urban mobility.”

The automatic/scooter category led the charge in sales growth, followed by business units (BU) and mopeds.

In the brand rankings, Honda took the top spot with a 19.2% year-on-year sales jump, while Yamaha followed closely with a 12.7% increase.

Industry players attribute this momentum to factors such as the demand for personal mobility, ongoing economic recovery, and easier access to financing. MDPPA members Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, and TVS are forecasting a 5% growth 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.

With the current pace, 2025 is shaping up to be another record-setting year for the Philippine motorcycle industry.
