Philippine vehicle sales extended their slump in June, falling 8 percent year-on-year to 37,231 units, even as stabilizing fuel prices and improving supply helped the market rebound from the previous month.
This brought the total automotive sales to 204,557 units as of the first half, down by 11.4 percent from 230,912 in the same period last year, based on data released on Thursday by the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines Inc. (Campi) and Truck Manufacturers Association Inc.
In June alone, sales rose 11 percent from 33,532 units in May, making it the strongest month so far this year. Still, the tally remained below the 40,483 vehicles sold in June 2025.
Campi president Jose Maria Atienza said the monthly recovery offered a more favorable outlook for the second half, when the industry expects sales to exceed last year’s monthly levels.
‘This June, we saw sales of both ICE vehicles and xEVs rise,’ Atienza said. ‘Industry sales of gas and diesel cars grew by 10 percent versus May due to more stable fuel prices, while xEVs grew by 49.2 percent thanks to improving supply level.
