The France auto parts manufacturing market was valued at USD 65.26 Billion in 2024. The industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.00% during the forecast period of 2025-2034 to attain a valuation of USD 79.55 Billion by 2034.
France Auto Parts Manufacturing Market Growth
The engine, the most important part of a vehicle, consists of a piston, crankshaft, flying wheel and cylinder heads contributing significantly to the vehicle's overall performance and efficiency. With increasing interest towards environmental sustainability there is a strong demand for better-optimised engine designs to reduce NOx emissions. All these factors contribute to the growth of efficient auto part manufacturing in France.
In January 2024, a Taiwan-based battery maker planned to start mass production in France’s northern region of Dunkirk by 2027. The company planned to invest 5.2 billion euros in battery factories, adding them to the emerging specialised cluster of the electric car industry. Recently, they also made a tie-up with Mercedes-Benz to make all vehicles electric by 2030.
To initiate combustion, spark and glow plugs are used in petrol and diesel engines. They are connected to distributors for ideal firing time which allows spark plugs to initiate sparks at the correct firing order. They are vital components in the engine combustion process any deviation from the firing order can cause energy loss and inefficient combustion. Automotive components play a vital role in the functioning of a vehicle, the engine being the heart of the vehicle process combustion of petrol and diesel, which allows the vehicle to move forward. With heavy investment in R&D in France, the automotive component market is growing at a rapid pace.
