The China luxury car market is estimated to register a robust CAGR during the forecast period, between 2021 and 2028. China is regarded as the rapid growing luxury market by most major auto manufacturers.

Germany-based premium car brands are disproportionately reliant upon China. While the industry saw a decline in the past two years, Germany-based luxury carmakers such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi all posted record sales last year. A considerable amount of sales was reported from China. Among other car manufacturers such as BMW and Audi, Mercedes-Benz had an annual growth rate of 22.4%, while it was 15.4% and 10.6%, respectively.

China Luxury Car Market Outlook

The luxury vehicle sales grew by 9.3% year over year (YoY) in 2020, according to data from the China Automobile Dealers Association. This also marked the third consecutive year for luxury brands to register growth in the wake of downward fall in the China automotive market. Gasoline powertrain is likely to continue its dominance in the China luxury car market during the long term.

However, competition from Tesla in electric powertrains and the support offered by the government of China in evolving new energy powertrain vehicles are expected to accelerate the market adoption of both battery electric vehicle (BEV) and plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) in China during the forecast period.
The luxury carmakers focus on catering highly advanced cars with better connectivity to the smart devices and Internet which plays a crucial role in sales surge of premium cars.

  • The trade war between the US and China negatively influenced the growth of the market.
