According to the latest calculations by the ZVEI, the global market for goods of the electro and digital industry reached a value of €5,765bn in 2024. For the current year, the global electro market is expected to grow by 3%. This would mean that growth remains subdued compared to the long-term average (5% p.a. since 1995). Next year, growth in the global market could pick up again slightly: the ZVEI forecasts growth of 5% for 2026. This would make the market be worth more than 6 trillion euros.

Trade conflicts in an increasingly fragmented global economy remain a significant risk. The electro and digital industry, with its international value chains and sales markets, is particularly dependent on the freest possible movement of goods.
