The motorcycle helmet market in Europe has a long history, dating back to the early 1900s, when motorcycles became popular as a mode of transportation. Helmets, on the other hand, were not widely used until the mid-20th century. Motorcycle helmets were made of leather in the 1950s and 1960s, and provided little protection against head injuries. It wasn't until the 1970s that helmets began to be made with impact-absorbing materials such as polycarbonate, providing better protection. Helmet designs began to become more aerodynamic in the 1980s, and full-face helmets gained popularity due to their superior protection. Furthermore, as manufacturers began to cater to individual tastes, the use of graphics and bright colours on helmets became more common. During the 1990s, European governments began to enact legislation requiring motorcycle riders to wear helmets. As a result of the increased demand for helmets, manufacturers began to offer a broader range of designs and features. Helmet manufacturers began to incorporate new technologies into their products in the early 2000s, such as Bluetooth connectivity and built-in cameras. Modular helmets, which allow the chin bar to be flipped up, also gained popularity.
