The German residential real estate market, valued at €372.77 million in 2025, is experiencing robust growth, projected to expand at a CAGR exceeding 3.06% from 2025 to 2033. This growth is fueled by several key factors. Strong urban population growth in major cities like Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, and Cologne, coupled with increasing household formations and a persistent shortage of housing, particularly in the rental sector, are driving demand. Government initiatives aimed at increasing affordable housing options, while well-intentioned, are struggling to keep pace with the rapid growth. Furthermore, low-interest rates in recent years have stimulated investment in the sector, further contributing to market expansion. However, challenges remain. Strict building regulations and lengthy approval processes can hinder new construction, creating supply constraints. Additionally, rising construction costs and material prices pose a significant challenge, potentially impacting profitability and affordability. The market is segmented by property type (villas and landed houses, condominiums and apartments) and geographically across key cities, reflecting varied market dynamics across different regions. Major players like Vonovia SE, Deutsche Wohnen SE, and LEG Immobilien SE dominate the market, but smaller, regional companies also play a crucial role. The forecast period (2025-2033) anticipates continued, albeit potentially moderated, growth. While the CAGR of 3.06% provides a baseline, it's likely that specific growth rates will fluctuate yearly depending on macroeconomic conditions, interest rate changes, and government policy adjustments. The market segment for condominiums and apartments is expected to maintain a larger share due to higher population density in urban centers and higher demand for rental properties. The ongoing demand, despite challenges, positions the German residential real estate market as a promising sector for long-term investment, albeit with inherent risks associated with regulatory changes and economic fluctuations. The ongoing interplay between supply, demand, and regulatory frameworks will significantly shape the market's trajectory in the coming years.

Radio broadcasters in Germany have had to contend with declining sales in recent years. External competition is causing the industry players to lose listeners. The decline in revenue has averaged 5.5% per year over the past five years. The economic environment has caused great uncertainty for many companies. As a result, they cut their advertising budgets, which is why private media advertising revenues have declined, although radio advertising revenues have continued to rise. The majority of advertising revenue is generated via FM; radio on band 2 of the ultra-short wave is the most frequently used transmission channel for radio. At the same time, the use of online audio offerings reached a new high last year. The greatest growth was recorded by internet radio, which is increasingly being listened to, particularly in the over-50 age group. However, music streaming remains the most widely used online audio format in the population as a whole.In the current year, industry sales are expected to fall by 4.8% compared to the previous year, totalling 863.5 million euros. The increasing use of the internet has a strong influence on the industry's sales development, which means that streaming services are increasingly being favoured over traditional radio. These offer the possibility of compiling audio programmes according to personal preferences, which makes them more attractive to many listeners. In addition, business success is threatened by numerous political activities, such as the Federal Ministry of Food's legislative initiative for a far-reaching ban on food advertising. On the other hand, the rising number of cars in use is having a positive effect on radio broadcasters, as this indicates an increase in the number of car radios.The expansion of the use of interactive online audio formats represents sales potential. TV sets are becoming radios and cars are becoming smart online devices, further increasing the relevance of internet radio and online audio formats. The increasing use of internet radio could compensate for part of the decline in sales. However, the audio market is also expected to be further opened up by the competing streaming services sector. As a result, it is to be expected that industry services will increasingly be replaced by online offerings from outside the industry, which is likely to have a dampening effect on the demand for radio advertising and the prices that can be achieved with it. For the period from 2024 to 2029, IBISWorld therefore anticipates an average annual decline in revenue of 1% to a total of EUR 822.1 million.
