The EU automotive sector in a globalised market

Over the past decade, the global car industry has undergone a gradual but significant shift in sales and production numbers from developed into developing markets. This policy briefing provides an in-depth analysis of recent trends and possible future developments in nine mature and growing car markets, concluding that Europe’s car sector could expand its share in a number of these markets. The paper concludes with an overview of trade barriers that hamper market access to these markets.
