The automotive smart key market in Europe is expected to grow from US$ 1,881.71 million in 2021 to US$ 2,740.94 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2021 to 2028.
Surge in safety feature deployment in commercial and passenger vehicles is expected to fuel the market. The augmenting demand for the incorporation of safety and security features in modern vehicles is propelling the automotive smart key market at large. The rising prevalence of vehicle theft have increased the demand for updated systems with a unique code for unlocking the car, involving an electronic key fob recognition through a specific code authorization. As a result, automakers have begun to use computer-encrypted microchips in their keyless system to enhance the security layers that drive market growth. The surge in hybrid and electric vehicles, equipped with advanced safety and security features, has also increased the demand for automotive smart keys. For instance, Mercedes' Keyless Go allows a driver to lock and unlock a vehicle without using the corresponding smart key buttons. Once a driver enters a car with an equipped Keyless Go SmartKey or Keyless Go wallet-size card, they can start and stop the engine without inserting the SmartKey. A transponder built within the SmartKey allows the vehicle to identify a driver. An additional safety feature is integrated into the vehicle, making it impossible to lock a SmartKey with Keyless Go inside it. Technological advancements, such as transmission and infra-red sensors, which further strengthen safety and security features, have also been propelling the market considerably.The automotive sector plays an important role in economic growth and employment in many European countries. In April 2020, European countries recorded the historically lowest registrations of new cars. The decline in the demand, disruptions in supply chains, and challenges related to technologies have severely impacted the automotive sector in these countries, which put the economy in a deep crisis and resulted in a reduction in international trade. However, the reopening of dealerships to the public helped boost sales. For instance, according to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), new registrations stood at 141,583 vehicles in April 2021, up from just 4,321 in April 2020. The lifting of restrictions in different regions can potentially bring more cars on the road, leading to the demand for increased vehicle security. Smartphone technology as an extension in the automotive sector has significant applications in the current COVID-19 pandemic situation. Therefore, the development of a smart key that can be accessed with a smartphone would provide significant growth opportunities for the automotive smart key market in the coming years.
With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the automotive smart key market. The Europe automotive smart key is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.

Below is the breakup of our primary respondents by company, designation, and region:
Once we receive the confirmation from primary research sources or primary respondents, we finalize the base year market estimation and forecast the data as per the macroeconomic and microeconomic factors assessed during data collection.
- Data Analysis:
Once data is validated through both secondary as well as primary respondents, we finalize the market estimations by hypothesis formulation and factor analysis at regional and country level.
- 3.1 Macro-Economic Factor Analysis:
We analyse macroeconomic indicators such the gross domestic product (GDP), increase in the demand for goods and services across industries, technological advancement, regional economic growth, governmental policies, the influence of COVID-19, PEST analysis, and other aspects. This analysis aids in setting benchmarks for various nations/regions and approximating market splits. Additionally, the general trend of the aforementioned components aid in determining the market's development possibilities.
- 3.2 Country Level Data:
Various factors that are especially aligned to the country are taken into account to determine the market size for a certain area and country, including the presence of vendors, such as headquarters and offices, the country's GDP, demand patterns, and industry growth. To comprehend the market dynamics for the nation, a number of growth variables, inhibitors, application areas, and current market trends are researched. The aforementioned elements aid in determining the country's overall market's growth potential.
- 3.3 Company Profile:
The “Table of Contents” is formulated by listing and analyzing more than 25 - 30 companies operating in the market ecosystem across geographies. However, we profile only 10 companies as a standard practice in our syndicate reports. These 10 companies comprise leading, emerging, and regional players. Nonetheless, our analysis is not restricted to the 10 listed companies, we also analyze other companies present in the market to develop a holistic view and understand the prevailing trends. The “Company Profiles” section in the report covers key facts, business description, products & services, financial information, SWOT analysis, and key developments. The financial information presented is extracted from the annual reports and official documents of the publicly listed companies. Upon collecting the information for the sections of respective companies, we verify them via various primary sources and then compile the data in respective company profiles. The company level information helps us in deriving the base number as well as in forecasting the market size.
- 3.4 Developing Base Number:
Aggregation of sales statistics (2020-2022) and macro-economic factor, and other secondary and primary research insights are utilized to arrive at base number and related market shares for 2022. The data gaps are identified in this step and relevant market data is analyzed, collected from paid primary interviews or databases. On finalizing the base year market size, forecasts are developed on the basis of macro-economic, industry and market growth factors and company level analysis.
- Data Triangulation and Final Review:
The market findings and base year market size calculations are validated from supply as well as demand side. Demand side validations are based on macro-economic factor analysis and benchmarks for respective regions and countries. In case of supply side validations, revenues of major companies are estimated (in case not available) based on industry benchmark, approximate number of employees, product portfolio, and primary interviews revenues are gathered. Further revenue from target product/service segment is assessed to avoid overshooting of market statistics. In case of heavy deviations between supply and demand side values, all thes steps are repeated to achieve synchronization.
We follow an iterative model, wherein we share our research findings with Subject Matter Experts (SME’s) and Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) until consensus view of the market is not formulated – this model negates any drastic deviation in the opinions of experts. Only validated and universally acceptable research findings are quoted in our reports.
We have important check points that we use to validate our research findings – which we call – data triangulation, where we validate the information, we generate from secondary sources with primary interviews and then we re-validate with our internal data bases and Subject matter experts. This comprehensive model enables us to deliver high quality, reliable data in shortest possible time.
