Automotive

Development of the industry economy

The automotive sector is the largest sector of the manufacturing industry and by far the most important industry in Germany in terms of sales. In national and international competition, high-quality premium vehicles from Germany, in particular, enjoy a high reputation. The German automotive industry has been able to significantly expand production and sales over the past decade. In 2019, around 4.6 million passenger cars were produced in Germany.

However, demand for motor vehicles declined in 2020 for the third year in succession. In 2020, sales of passenger cars in Europe slumped by 24%, which was also due to the Corona pandemic. The automotive industry is undergoing a major transformation. However, the electrification of powertrains offers the opportunity for Germany to once again become a pioneer in the automotive industry.
