While the pandemic may have put a stop to many people's financial goals around the world, it may have provided a chance for the exceedingly affluent to indulge in other vices. Was it luxurious automobiles that were mentioned? Sure, since Rolls-Royce has announced that sales in 2021 were more than in any other year since the company was founded 117 years ago.

Rolls-Royce sales increased by 49 percent in 2021 compared with the previous year. While the impacts of the pandemic were only beginning to be seen in 2020, the performance of the luxury vehicle brand in 2021 was significantly better than any prior year. The firm is said to have sold 5,586 units throughout the world, with the percentage increase indicating that people who can afford a Rolls-Royce are largely buying one. China, North America, and the Asia-Pacific region were the primary drivers of demand.

For a number of reasons, F2021 was a challenging year for the globe and the global automobile industry. Rolls-Royce was not immune to the problems posed by the pandemic and the worldwide semiconductor chip shortage. In a statement, Torsten Muller-Otvos, CEO of Rolls-Royce, stated, "I don't believe anyone would argue with me that 2021 was the most tumultuous, unexpected, and tough year for businesses across the board." However, he added that bringing a Rolls-Royce home would be a lengthy process. "If you order a Rolls-Royce now, you can support where needed it in roughly a year."

This is partly because of how carefully each Rolls-Royce unit is crafted but also has to do with the fact that the order book is full. Several reports point to 2022 potentially being another promising year for the British manufacturer.
