The Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines, Inc. (CAMPI) and the Truck Manufacturers Association, Inc. (TMA) reported combined sales of 35,722 units in September, up 20.6% from August as the industry rebounded from weather-related disruptions that weighed on sales the previous month.
With estimated sales from non-CAMPI-TMA brands included, total industry sales in September surpassed 40,240 units, 17% higher than in previous month.
According to CAMPI President Jose Maria Atienza, breaching the 40,000-unit monthly sales mark reflects positive market movement. The industry’s robust September performance signals a return to the recovery path projected before weather-related disruptions briefly affected market activity in August.
“Sales of ICE vehicles posted a strong 19% rebound in September, while xEV sales also recorded a solid 14% increase. This continued growth across both segments reflects healthy consumer demand and reinforces our confidence in the market. Based on annual sales trends heading into the final months of the year, we believe the industry is well-positioned to sustain its momentum and deliver a strong overall performance in 2026,” said CAMPI President Jose Maria Atienza.
Among CAMPI-TMA member brands, Toyota Motor Philippines Corp. (TMP) led September sales with 18,157 units. It was followed by Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corp. (MMPC) with 3,962 units, Suzuki Philippines Inc. (SPI) with 1,466 units, Ford Group Philippines, Inc. (FGP) with 1,187 units, and Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI) with 1,136 units.
