Motorcycle sales, production up

Manila Bulletin

October 8, 2025

Philippine roads have welcomed over one million new motorcycles from January to August, as demand continues to grow among Filipinos seeking the most affordable transport option to beat heavy traffic.

- By DEXTER BARRO II

The latest data from the Motorcycle Development Program Participants Association Inc. (MDPPA) showed that 1.23 million motorcycle units were sold in the first eight months of the year, 12-percent higher than the 1.1 million units during the same period in 2024.

Demand has been on such an upward trend that the so-called “ghost month,” which usually coincides with people avoiding big purchases, did not make any dent in August sales.

For the month, motorcycle sales grew 18 percent to 158,228 units from 133,689 units in the same month last year.
