The global luxury car market size is estimated to reach USD 1,046.87 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The demand for luxury cars is expected to grow owing to the increasing adoption of smart-connectivity features and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) in luxury cars.
The COVID-19 outbreak had a negative impact. The demand for luxury cars by dealers and consumers declined significantly due to the lockdown measures imposed across the world. The COVID-19 along with the semiconductors shortage led to production stoppages and supply bottlenecks throughout the entire automotive industry. According to the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA), private vehicle registrations in Europe were contracted by 38.1% year-on-year for the first half of 2020.
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), worldwide spending on electric vehicles by the consumers and governments experienced a significant rise during 2021 as the spending doubled as compared to 2020, reaching approximately USD 250.0 billion. In 2021, government spending including purchase subsidies and tax exemptions increased to USD 30 billion approximately.
