The flat-top piston segment dominated the market in 2020 and dome piston segment is expected to be the fastest growing during the forecast period. In terms of country, the Europe automotive piston market is segmented into— France, Germany, Italy, UK, and Russia.
With the outbreak of COVID-19, the production and sales of motor vehicles came to a sudden halt in most of Europe. In April 2020, European markets witnessed the lowest new car registrations. Collapse of the demand side severely impacted the EU automotive sector, had put the economy in deep crisis and reduced international trade. The automotive sector plays an important role in economic growth and employment in many of the European countries which was strongly impacted by supply chain disruptions, and technological challenges. Automotive Production in Europe fell 21%, with UK, Spain and Germany witnessing the major declines ranging from 11% to almost 40%. Europe as a whole represented an almost 22% share of the global production in 2020. Players such as Volkswagen generated reduced production due to the disruption caused by the Covid pandemic. The supply shortage of certain raw materials and piston components also affected the regional production. The government is lifting restrictions in different parts of the regions which is anticipated to rebound the motor vehicle manufacturing industry in Europe. According to the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA), the automotive sales in Europe are anticipated to rise by about 10% in 2021 compared to 2020. Progress in vaccination programs and support measures to stimulate demand will help the market to recover.
