ZVEI's Business Cycles and Markets division provides reports (e.g. ZVEI Business Cycle Report, ZVEI Foreign Trade Report), on the economic development of the German Electro and Digital Industry.
October 2025
With an increase of one and a half percent, orders in the German electro and digital industry slightly exceeded the previous year’s level in August 2025. With the exception of July, this means that orders were on the rise in five of the last six months, with domestic and foreign orders growing at almost the same rate.
October 2025
Exports of the German electro and digital industry missed their previous year’s level in August 2025. They were down 1.7%, reaching a value of €18.3bn. Weaker exports to both of our biggest customer countries China and the USA contributed significantly to the decline.
