Motorcycle sales in the Philippines continued to climb in the second quarter of 2025, with total unit sales reaching 910,923, up 4.8% from the 876,074 units sold during the same period last year, according to the Motorcycle Development Program Participants Association, Inc. (MDPPA).

The steady increase highlights the sustained demand for motorcycles, largely driven by their affordability, fuel efficiency, and convenience in navigating traffic-heavy cities.

“Filipinos continue to see two-wheeled vehicles as a practical solution to daily commuting challenges,” said MDPPA President Alex Cumpas, noting their role as an essential choice for urban mobility.

Industry data shows that the Automatic/Scooter category remains the top-selling segment, while mopeds, street bikes, business models, big bikes, and niche motorcycle types also continue to draw buyers.

MDPPA members — Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, and TVS — project continued growth for the sector, forecasting a 5% increase for the full year 2025.

“Strong consumer demand, the expansion of delivery and mobility services, and the consistently growing appeal of motorcycles as cost-effective transport options across both urban and rural areas will continue to fuel sales,” added Toni Boi Acuesta, MDPPA Marketing Committee Chairperson.

The association said that personal mobility needs, economic recovery, and accessible financing options will further sustain the industry’s growth momentum in the coming months.
