According to MDPPA members, October 2025 sales hit 183,502 new motorcycles—a 19 percent increase compared to the 154,168 units sold in the same month last year.

The October sales bring the industry’s year-to-date tally to 1,581,817 units, up 13.5 percent from the 1,393,426 units recorded over the same ten-month period last year.

According to MDPPA, this steady growth highlights how motorcycles remain a practical and essential mode of transport for many Filipinos, particularly as they continue to seek affordable, fuel-efficient, and traffic-resilient mobility solutions. At the same time, some economists note that the continued rise in motorcycle sales at the expense of weakening car sales concretely shows the reduced financial capabilities of Filipino consumers.

With this sustained momentum, MDPPA remains optimistic that the industry will close the year with over 1.79 million units sold, buoyed by continued demand and strong performance across regions.

“With just two months to go, we are on pace to surpass our earlier targets, and we expect full-year sales to reach more than 1.79 million units. This growth reflects how deeply motorcycles have become a part of everyday life for Filipinos. Whether for personal use or livelihood, they continue to be the most accessible and reliable way to move forward,” said Engr. Alexander A. Cumpas, MDPPA President.

The Motorcycle Development Program Participants Association, Inc. (MDPPA) is the country’s most relevant association proactive to the needs of stakeholders in the country’s motorcycle industry. MDPPA members include leading motorcycle manufacturers: Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, and TVS.
