In Europe, the UK and Russia, followed by France, Spain, Italy, and Germany, are the hardest-hit countries by the COVID-19 pandemic. Initially, other member states had implemented drastic measures and travel restrictions, including partially closing their borders that impacted the import and export of products. Due to restrictions on imports and exports, the fishing reels from Asia Pacific countries could not be exported to Europe, causing a shortage in the supply of fishing reels. During the lockdown, countries in Europe imposed restrictions and banned recreational fishing, which led to a decrease in demand for fishing reels. However, some countries encouraged recreational fishing during the pandemic, positively impacting the demand for fishing reels. The start of manufacturing operations and ease of restrictions on carrying out recreational activities and import and export activities will lead to an increased demand for fishing reels.

With the new advancements and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the Europe fishing reels market. A reel is a mechanical device linked to a fishing rod that uses a revolving arm to store, release, and collect the fishing line. Most fishers prefer a specific style of fishing reel based on their location, target species of fish, budget, and level of experience.  For instance, spinners are the most popular among new fishers and are preferred because of their ease of use and other advantages. Spinning reels, also known as spinners, are ideal for fishing with light baits such as live baits and soft plastics. On the other hand, professional anglers prefer baitcasting reels because they can last longer than spinning gear. In addition, these reels allow fishers to cast spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and jigs more accurately. Further, the spinning reel is the most popular reel used by fishermen of all levels because of its superior open-faced design. This design provides the required adaptability while also providing great usability and accuracy. In reality, the design allows the spool to have a large line capacity while also being simple to switch lines as needed. Therefore, it is important to equip the fishing rod with the appropriate reel because each type of fishing reel requires a distinct skill level and function. Thus, the rising awareness regarding the use and benefits of different types of fishing reels is a major factor driving the market.
