The European region witnessed a varying pandemic impact across its economically diverse countries following the COVID-19 virus outbreak. For instance, countries such as Germany, UK, Netherlands, France, and selected other developed countries imposed stringent government restrictions and closed their borders to curb the virus spread hence plummeting the demand as well as the availability of various automotive components, including radar systems. Whereas, selected other countries such as Italy, Russia, and Spain witnessed a significant surge in cases, which notably impacted the demand for passenger vehicle sales during the April and July period. However, numerous European countries did recover swiftly in recent months. They witnessed a reliable surge in demand for automotive sales and its associated components among the OEMs and aftermarket sales. Further, countries in the region, including Germany, UK, France, and Belgium, have witnessed a second wave of the virus and have announced lockdown for the second time in November 2020. The situation amid the COVID-19 pandemic is extraordinary, which is anticipated to hamper the growth of the market.

Aptiv Plc; Continental AG; Denso Corporation; HELLA KGaA Hueck & Co.; Nidec Corporation; Robert Bosch GmbH; Valeo; Veoneer Inc; ZF Friedrichshafen AG are among the leading companies in the Europe automotive radar market.
