The luxury car market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $582.19 billion in 2023 to $632.68 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. The growth observed in the historical period within the luxury car industry can be attributed to several contributing factors. These include economic prosperity and an affluent consumer base, the impact of globalization leading to market expansion, the significance of brand prestige and established heritage, evolving lifestyles and urbanization trends, and the emergence and growth of new markets.
The luxury car market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $850.93 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. Anticipated growth in the upcoming forecast period within the luxury car sector can be credited to several driving factors. These encompass the surge in electrification and sustainable luxury practices, the advent of subscription-based ownership models, the influence of global economic trends, heightened emphasis on in-car connectivity and entertainment features, and shifts in regulatory frameworks and emission standards. Additionally, major trends projected for this forecast period include the integration of digital technology to enhance customer experiences, advancements in autonomous driving technology, continual innovations in safety and comfort features, ongoing developments in design and engineering aspects, and the emergence of digital showrooms and virtual experiences. These trends are poised to significantly shape and impact the luxury car industry in the upcoming period.
The anticipated growth in the luxury car market is driven by the increasing trend of electric luxury vehicles. Electric luxury vehicles, exclusively powered by battery-stored energy and equipped with electric traction motors, are gaining popularity due to heightened environmental awareness and a growing desire for cutting-edge technology and innovation in the luxury automobile segment. This surge in demand for electric luxury cars serves as a primary driver for the overall growth of the luxury car market. For example, in January 2023, Tesla Inc., a leading US-based automobile company, reported production and delivery totals exceeding 439,000 for the Model S/X and over 405,000 for the Model 3/Y (luxury electric vehicles) in the fourth quarter. The annual increase of 40% in vehicle deliveries to 1.31 million in 2022, coupled with a 47% rise in manufacturing to 1.37 million, exemplifies the remarkable impact of the growing trend of electric luxury vehicles on the luxury car market.
A key factor propelling the growth of the luxury car market is the increasing disposable income. The rise in disposable income is typically associated with an improved economy, leading to higher wages, salaries, and increased healthcare expenditure. This increase in disposable income has a positive influence on luxury car sales as consumers gain greater purchasing power, enabling them to afford high-end vehicles as a form of discretionary spending. In August 2023, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, a US-based government agency, disposable personal income experienced a growth of $7.3 billion (less than 0.1 percent) in July 2023. This upward trajectory in disposable income contributes significantly to the growth of the luxury car market, as consumers are better positioned to invest in premium vehicles.
Technological advancements emerge as a key trend gaining momentum in the luxury car market, with major companies actively incorporating new technologies to bolster their market positions. An exemplary instance is the December 2022 launch by Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (BMW), a Germany-based automobile company, of the XM SUV. Distinguished as the first M vehicle to integrate plug-in hybrid powertrain technology, the XM SUV boasts a potent combination of a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine and an electric motor, producing 489 hp and 800 pound-feet of torque. This innovative powertrain is coupled with an 8-speed automatic transmission utilizing the M xDrive system, effectively distributing power to all four wheels. BMW's introduction of the XM SUV underscores the industry's commitment to advancing technology within luxury vehicles.
Major companies in the luxury car market are prioritizing product innovation, particularly in the realm of hands-free driver assistance technology. This technology enables vehicles to execute specific driving tasks without direct manual control by the driver. A notable example is the October 2022 launch by Cadillac, a US-based luxury vehicle company, of the CELESTIQ. Recognized as the world's first all-electric ultra-luxury sedan, the CELESTIQ represents the most technologically advanced Cadillac ever. It combines innovative technology with personalized, handcrafted artistry and features advanced all-wheel drive, adaptive air suspension with magnetic ride control, active rear steering, and Cadillac's inaugural active roll control. Additionally, the vehicle incorporates the ClimateSense individualized four-zone microclimate system. The introduction of such hands-free driver assistance technology exemplifies the industry's dedication to meeting evolving consumer demands and enhancing market presence through cutting-edge innovations in luxury cars.
