Rolls Royce sales quadruple in 5 years

Rolls-Royce has revealed that the company has registered record sales results for a fifth consecutive year. The BMW subsidiary sold 4,063 cars globally in 2014. While the approximate 12% growth is an impressive figure by itself, it also shows the brand's increasing popularity as global sales have more than quadrupled since 2009.

The number also happens to be the highest in the brand’s 111-year history. North America topped regional sales, followed by the Middle East, Europe and China. The top three regions recorded growth figures of 30%, 20% and 40% respectively. Globally, Rolls Royce has 127 dealerships with 6 new ones added in 2014. Leading markets for the brand include the USA, China, UAE, UK and Saudi Arabia.

Rolls-Royce has seen a relatively consistent growth curve over the past decade or so. From 300 units in 2003 to 1,212 units in 2008, the brand has won over the wealthy. Sales dropped in 2009 to 1,002 units, but more than doubled in 2010 to 2,711 units. Since 2011, the British car maker has seen sales consistently staying above 3500 units, with the 4000 unit threshold being crossed in 2014.
