Strict Compliance: REACH, RoHS, CE certifications, and other local regulations are strictly enforced. European buyers often require thorough documentation and traceability for each component.
Quality Over Quantity: European procurement strategies emphasize long-term reliability, lifecycle support, and component origin. This often results in longer qualification times but higher trust in selected suppliers.
Focus on Specialized Applications: The region's demand tends to center on niche, high-reliability components — such as those used in defense, transportation, and medical equipment.
