The Business Cycles and Markets section of the ZVEI regularly provides data, figures and facts on the structure and development of the German as well as the international electro and digital industry (e.g. World Market Electro and Digital Industry, Country Information).
September 2025
China is of great importance to the German electro and digital industry. With a share of just under forty percent, the Chinese market is the world's largest national market. For the German electro and digital industry, China was not only the main target of exports in 2024, but was also the largest investment location for foreign direct investment in 2023.
September 2025
The Chinese electro market is by far the largest in the world. From 2010 to 2023 its volume nearly trippled. However, in view of the structural challenges facing the Chinese economy (including low consumption, the real estate crisis and demographics), it can be assumed that China has probably embarked on a lower growth path. This is also reflected in the growth rates expected by the ZVEI for the Chinese electro market.
