     “We hope that the performance of the first quarter will be sustained. The market is so volatile as influenced by internal and external variables. Our conservative forecast this year is 10 percent growth, in light of the headwinds of imminent recession in the US and other regions. If the existing business landscape will prevail, the 1.7 million units recorded sales in 2019 may be surpassed,” MDPPA President Norminio Mojica said.

    Holding the biggest share of the motorcycle market in the opening quarter of 2023 is the scooter segment after turning over a total of 269,652 units to customers (60 percent).
