Europe Driving Apparel Market: Demand to Rise as Motor Sports Gain Popularity

The top three companies in the market, comprising Dainese S.p.A., Alpinestars S.p.A., and Fox Head, Inc., held barely 27.4% of the Europe driving apparel market in 2016. This is indicative of the presence of several multinational firms and local companies in the Europe driving apparel market and intense competition influencing the market forces. Investment in product innovation is therefore considered a key strategy by market players to gain improved traction, finds Transparency Market Research (TMR) in a new study.
