KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, June 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The rising power of consumption among Chinese, especially the younger generation who demands luxury products, is driving significant growth in luxury car market in China as a result of impactful megatrends such as social, economic and innovation.
The luxury car market in China is expected to undergo positive growth at compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4% from 2017 to 2025. Frost & Sullivan's recent report, China Luxury Car Market, Forecast to 2025 highlights that over 10% of 24 million units of passenger vehicles sold in China in 2017 were luxury cars.
"Compact SUV and C-Compact sedan are the most preferred luxury car segments in China. Increasing adoption by female and urban drivers, as well as the price conscious, will drive the demand for luxury cars from individual customers over the long term," said Ming Lin Chan, Senior Research Analyst of APAC Mobility Practice at Frost & Sullivan.
