Europeans wanted a new route to Asia because the route that they had was by land and it was very dangerous and long, with many people dying during the journey. Most Europeans hoped for a convenient path by sea in order to speed up the trade process. Asian goods, including spices, jewels, and silk were known for being very expensive and high quality. Items were also taxed multiple times when travelling by land, so it was cheaper to travel by sea while trading.
