Kawasaki maintains commanding grip in tricycle market

Kawasaki Philippines continues it progressive momentum into the year as it still holds the tricycle market’s lion’s share of sales at 61.5% (as of January 2026), a 14.8% year-on-year growth. Beyond its dominance in the tricycle segment, the brand also recorded 15.7% year-on-year growth in total motorcycle sales – the strongest growth among major Japanese motorcycle brands in the local market. Kawasaki’s sustained leadership in the tricycle segment continues to be anchored by the Barako 175 and CT line-up, which remain widely recognized for their fuel efficiency, reliability, and suitability for daily commercial operations. Complementing its strong performance in its Regular Bike segment, Kawasaki Philippines also maintained momentum in its Leisure Bike portfolio, supported by growing consumer interest in premium and higher-displacement models. The company is set to further expand its Leisure Bikes line-up with upcoming model introductions in February 2026, featuring highly anticipated models previously unveiled at the Japan Mobility Show and EICMA in 2025.
