He shared that the group is keen on hitting the revised goal and will enjoy a 6.5-percent growth when compared to the 1.681-million-unit retail performance for the full 12 months of 2024.

To note, the latest MDPPA sales forecast for the whole year is 1.5-percent higher compared to the projected retail volume for 2025. If reached, it would be the organization’s highest retail performance.

Sales drivers per category

Providing the strongest push in MDPPA’s year-to-date sales as of September 2025 are from the scooter segment, which cornered 65 percent of the overall volume.

Models under business category had 17-percent of the group’s total sales for January-September this year while mopeds held 16.2 percent.

Considered a niche market, leisure bikes (street bikes and big bikes) grabbed the remaining 2.7 percent.

Retail forecast for 2026

Further, the MDPPA sales forecast for next year is about 1.864 million motorcycles – a four-percent growth versus their assumed result for 2025.

The sales growth difference in terms of percentage for 2026, Cumpas expressed firm belief, will be affected by lesser government spending.
