June 9, 2025

The Philippines' motorcycle industry remains on an upward trajectory, with sales surging past 700,000 by the end of May, as demand for greater mobility and an affordable mode of transportation continues to sweep the nation.

- BY DEXTER BARRO II

The latest figures from the Federation of Asian Motorcycle Industries (FAMI) showed that 746,016 motorcycles were sold in the country from January to May, representing an eight percent increase from 688,790 in the same period in 2024.

Taking into account May alone, it posted 150,781 units sold compared to 144,210 in the same month last year.

Last month registered the second-highest number of sales in the motorcycle industry this year, with January still leading with 155,715 units sold, due to strong holiday spending.

FAMI's data, sourced from the Motorcycle Development Program Participants Association Inc. (MDPPA), showed that domestic production by the end of April recorded 476,405 units—12 percent higher than 425,946 during the first four months of 2024.
