Luxury SUV Market: Key Drivers, Trends, Challenges, and Customer Landscape
Increased preference for safety and comfort to drive sales of luxury SUVs notably drive the Luxury Sports Utility Vehicles Market growth, although factors such as declining exclusivity of luxury cars impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key Luxury SUV Market Driver
One of the key factors driving growth in the luxury SUV market is the increased preference for safety and comfort to drive sales of luxury SUVs. Luxury vehicles are equipped with modern technology and feature updates to stand apart from even the fully equipped variants of commuter SUVs. However, the very /image of luxury SUVs largely depends on the advertising by the vehicle manufacturer to showcase the vehicle as premium and elevate the social status of the buyers. Hence, automakers equip their luxury SUV models with the latest technologies, as these represent the brand /image of the company. Luxury SUVs offer a much higher degree of safety and security to vehicle occupants.
The increase in road accidents is expected to further highlight the importance of having additional safety features in luxury vehicles. This will make luxury SUVs more desirable to potential buyers. Governing bodies are striving to reduce the number of fatalities caused due to road accidents by mandating various safety features in vehicles. This will encourage vehicle manufacturers to equip their premium vehicles with advanced safety features ahead of the commuter segment vehicles to maintain the differences between luxury and commuter vehicles.
Key Luxury SUV Market Trend
The rapid development of electrified luxury vehicles is a luxury SUV market trend that is expected to have a positive impact during the forecast period. The rising concern about reducing vehicular emissions is increasing the adoption of electrified vehicles, which include pure electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and hybrid electric vehicles. Electrified vehicles are gaining popularity among luxury vehicle manufacturers. BMW launched 10 electrified vehicle models (9 plug-in hybrid vehicles and 1 pure-electric vehicle). Furthermore, the company has announced its plans to launch 25 electrified vehicles (13 plug-in hybrid vehicles and 12 pure electric vehicles) by 2025.
In addition, established luxury electric vehicle manufacturers, including Tesla, are increasing their product portfolio by introducing new electric vehicle models. In January 2019, Tesla announced the development of its next electric vehicle (Model Y crossover). Thus, the rapid adoption and development of luxury electric vehicles are expected to positively impact the global Luxury Sports Utility Vehicles (SUV) Market shortly.
Key Luxury SUV Market Challenge
The declining exclusivity of luxury cars will be a major challenge for the luxury SUV market during the forecast period. The major factors driving the purchase of a luxury SUV are its exclusive features and the prestige associated with its ownership. However, the intensifying competition, rise in the number of luxury brands, and increasing demand for luxury SUVs have pushed luxury vehicle manufacturers to expand their businesses and sell to the mass segment through the same distribution channel as that for other segment vehicles. Though this does not affect the sales of these vehicles directly, the exclusivity declines.
Another major differentiating factor for luxury SUVs is technologically advanced features. Nowadays, mid-segment SUVs are equipped with advanced emergency braking systems, collision avoidance warnings, pedestrian detection, steering assist, blind-spot monitoring, heated seats, and sunroofs, which were previously exclusive to luxury vehicles. The availability of advanced features in mid-segment SUVs has diffused the exclusivity of luxury SUVs. This is expected to hamper the growth of the global luxury SUV market.
