Exporting shock absorbers to Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy and Spain

The EU5 automotive market for shock absorbers is challenging for two reasons. Firstly, the automotive OEMs value vehicle safety and comfort, and so the technical specifications for components are high. This demand for safety and comfort can also be seen in the EU5 aftermarket sector, where vehicle manufacturing networks are dominant and advise consumers to install new shock absorbers on vehicles, even when they are fairly new. Secondly, the market for non-OEM parts is limited, as shock absorbers for older vehicles are changed only when deemed necessary. Outside of the passenger car market, there are significant opportunities with respect to shock absorbers, such as the OEMs that manufacture commercial vehicles, agricultural equipment and trailers in the EU5 area.
