Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Reports Record 6,021 Sales in 2022, up 8% On Same Period in 2021

Rolls-Royce achieved its highest-ever annual sales in 2022, delivering 6,021 motor cars, up 8% in 2021, to clients in around 50 countries worldwide. This is the first time in the company’s 118-year history that its sales have exceeded 6,000 in a single 12‑month period.

The value of Bespoke commissions also reached record levels, while demand for all Rolls‑Royce models remains exceptionally strong, with advance orders secured far into 2023.

In 2022, Rolls-Royce achieved sales growth in almost all regions, with robust year-on-year increases in the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, the USA and Europe. More importantly than volume alone, the value of clients’ Bespoke commissions was higher than ever before.

The almost endless possibilities for Bespoke personalisation resulted in clients being willing to pay an average of around half a million Euros for their unique Rolls-Royce. The marque will significantly contribute to its principal shareholder thanks to the high value of Rolls-Royce’s unrivalled Bespoke offering and the company’s consistent focus on profitability.

The Middle East is the marque’s leading region for Bespoke commissions, with many unique creations of particularly extensive and individual personalisation. In 2022, Rolls-Royce opened an invitation-only Private Office in Dubai, the first outside Goodwood, bringing the Home of Rolls-Royce closer to the marque’s local clients. Further Private Offices will be introduced worldwide in the coming months and years.

The Americas saw significant growth in 2022 and remains the largest single region for Rolls‑Royce, with almost all markets achieving higher sales than the previous year. Greater China is vital to Rolls-Royce and is the marque’s second-largest sales region. Ongoing headwinds led to a single-digit drop in sales compared with 2021’s record results. However, this was successfully counterbalanced by increased sales in other markets.

Despite the severe geopolitical challenges affecting Europe, the region grew in 2022 with record sales in several markets, including the UK and Germany. The Asia-Pacific region also achieved higher sales than ever before.

Rolls-Royce’s unprecedented success comes as, in January 2023, the company marks the 20th anniversary of the Home of Rolls-Royce at Goodwood. Its transformation – from offering a single model, Phantom, and building just one motor car daily – to today’s record figures is the result of a long-term strategy based on sustainable growth, careful management and planning, and the successful reinvention of the brand.

The past decade, in particular, has seen Rolls‑Royce consciously refine and rejuvenate its brand and product portfolio to reflect its clients’ changing requirements, tastes and demographics while retaining its innate exclusivity and rarity.

As both an authentic luxury house and an innovative, engineering-led company, Rolls‑Royce represents, as it always has, the highest levels of craftsmanship, technology, luxury and creativity.
