North America is estimated to contribute 46% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period. SUVs and crossovers are widely viewed as large and powerful vehicles with higher ground clearance and a higher seating position with dynamic capabilities for handling multiple types of terrain. Luxury SUV sales are higher in North America due to a combination of factors, including more affordable loans, lower petrol prices, and a growing need for efficient personal transportation. Extravagance SUVs are marketed as high-end cars with advanced technology, which further fuels the demand owing to easily accessible financing. The increased penetration of the Internet has led the average American buyer to be dependent on smart gadgets for connectivity.
In addition, vehicle manufacturers have been providing Internet connectivity and technology to support the control and transfer of information between smart gadgets in luxury SUVs to increase utility. The rising penetration of Android Auto multimedia systems provides seamless integration between smartphones and vehicle infotainment. With features like voice commands, navigation, and entertainment apps, drivers can access and control various functionalities hands-free. This technology enhances the driving experience by offering connectivity and convenience in luxury SUVs and is expected to further drive the regional market growth during the forecast period.
Consumers are increasingly looking for vehicles that combine battery models with prestige, highlighting the importance of eco-friendly options alongside luxury features. Exhaust emissions remain a critical consideration, with manufacturers striving to meet stringent environmental standards. A well-informed customer base values product knowledge, and providing opportunities for test drives is essential in influencing purchasing decisions. By understanding these preferences and trends, automakers can effectively position their offerings in the competitive landscape of the global luxury SUV market. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges.
The rise in the HNWI population preferring luxury SUVs is notably driving the market growth. Therefore, an increase in the number of HNWIs will positively impact the luxury sport utility vehicle market. Financial institutions term an individual as having a high net worth according to the amount of wealth owned by the individual. A person with a minimum of USD1 million in liquid assets is considered a high-net-worth individual. Since 2018, Asia and North America have witnessed an increase in the number of HNWIs. In the same year, the super extravagance cars segment witnessed maximum growth in China. The US holds the maximum market share for super indulgence cars in terms of volume, which strengthens the correlation between the HNWI population and the growth of the market. APAC and North America account for an approximately three-fourth increase in the HNWI population and about a two-thirds increase in HNWI wealth.
Moreover, increasing the HNWI population or HNWI wealth can be considered a direct driving factor for the luxury sport utility vehicle market. The US, Japan, China, Germany, and Canada are the top five countries with the highest numbers of HNWIs and UHNWIs. The numbers are expected to increase during the forecast period. Thus, the increase in the HNWI population will positively impact the market growth and trends during the forecast period.
The introduction of new luxury vehicle segments by manufacturers is an emerging trend shaping market growth. The sales of existing extravagance vehicle models and new indulgence vehicle models in the existing segment, including sedans and SUVs, have grown. A rise in competition among excess vehicle manufacturers to gain a competitive edge is pushing them to undertake various initiatives, such as the expansion of the product portfolio with new vehicle segments.
For instance, in January 2022, Bayerische Motoren Werke AG launched a new version of its X3 SUV in India. The vehicle is now sportier and more modern with its comprehensive refreshed look, premium interior with new equipment features, and updated infotainment. Thus, the launch of luxury vehicles in new segments will positively impact the market during the forecast period.
Declining exclusivity of luxury cars is a significant challenge hindering market growth. 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 of indulgence SUVs is technologically advanced features. However, these features are becoming common in mid-segment vehicles.
Nowadays, mid-segment SUVs are equipped with advanced emergency braking systems, collision avoidance warning, pedestrian detection, steering assist, blind-spot monitoring, heated seats, and sunroofs, which were previously exclusive to extravagance vehicles. The availability of advanced features in mid-segment SUVs has diffused the exclusivity of costly SUVs. This is expected to hamper the growth of the market during the forecast period.
