At the end of the last decade, the European economy saw a downturn, and along with the economy, the automotive industry too suffered the effects of the recession. However, the economy has now recovered from the slump and the automotive industry is also following the same trend. In the coming years, demand in the automotive sector is anticipated to grow slowly in the region. Germany, which houses some of the biggest names in the automotive industry, is expected to grow at a moderate rate, while Russia, one of the growing countries in the market, is estimated to be one of the leading countries in the region.

The disc brake market is estimated to register a higher growth than the drum brake market. Disc brakes are instrumental in reducing the stopping distance of a vehicle, and hence contribute greatly to increased passenger safety; this is one of major reasons for the increased use of disc brakes in vehicles. Recent innovations in the area have led to more and more manufacturers adopting disc brakes in their vehicles. The European disc brake market, which was valued at $2,786.4 million in 2013, is expected to reach $3,669.8 million by 2018, growing at CAGR of 5.5%.

The key markets covered in the European disc brake market are:
