Quick Takeaways
  • Philippine vehicle sales 2026 are projected to exceed the 500,000-unit mark driven by EVs and commercial vehicles.
  • Industry bodies expect modest but steady growth supported by new models and policy incentives.
On January 28, 2026, Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines Inc. said Philippine vehicle sales 2026 could climb beyond the 500,000-unit threshold, reflecting improving market sentiment and stronger demand for electrified and commercial vehicles. The industry outlook places total sales at around 503,000 units for the year.

Market growth outlook for 2026

If realized, the projected volume would represent a 2.4% increase from the record 491,395 units sold in 2025, a figure that already includes sales outside CAMPI and membership. This indicates continued expansion of the Philippine auto market despite global uncertainties.

Sales performance by industry members

Sales generated by CAMPI and Truck Manufacturers Association members reached 463,646 units in 2025. For 2026, these members are expected to post growth of roughly 2%, supported by stabilizing supply conditions and improving fleet demand.

Passenger cars, EVs, and policy support

CAMPI expects passenger car demand to recover in 2026, helped by upcoming model launches and renewed consumer interest. The group also reiterated the importance of sustained support through programs such as:
  • Comprehensive Automotive Resurgence Strategy (CARS)
  • Revitalizing the Automotive Industry for Competitiveness Enhancement (RACE)
  • Electric Vehicle Incentive Strategy (EVIS)
Together, these initiatives are seen as critical to maintaining local manufacturing strength, encouraging EV adoption, and ensuring long-term competitiveness of the Philippine automotive sector.
