Vehicle sales in the Philippines rose 1.4 percent in the first seven months of 2025, reaching 269,207 units from 265,490 units in the same period in 2024, data from the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines, Inc. (CAMPI) and the Truck Manufacturers Association (TMA) showed Thursday.
CAMPI president Rommel Gutierrez said the spike was driven by robust commercial vehicle demand and a recovering passenger car market.
“The industry’s continued growth, particularly in commercial segments, reflects strong market fundamentals and the agility of our members in navigating short-term challenges,” he said.
The groups said that despite weather-related disruptions that temporarily slowed retail activity in July, the sector remains on an upward track, fueled by strong commercial vehicle demand and signs of recovery in the passenger car market.
With new model launches, promotional campaigns and improving consumer sentiment ahead, CAMPI and TMA are confident in the sector’s sustained recovery and expansion.
“We are optimistic that the momentum will carry forward into the second half of the year,” Gutierrez said.
Toyota Motor Philippines Corp. continued to lead the market with a 48.04-percent share.
Rounding up the top 5 auto companies were Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corp. with 19 percent, Nissan Philippines Inc. with 5.06 percent, Ford Group Philippines with 4.95 percent and Suzuki Philippines Inc. with 4.69 percent.
