In Q4 2020, turnover of German motion picture, video and television program production, sound recording, and music publishing companies dropped to 79.6 index points and thereby far below the values of the previous years. After falling for the first time under an index value of 100 in Q4 of 2019, the immense drop through 2020 reveals the problems German media and publishing companies had to face in 2020. A similar trend can be observed in other countries like the UK, Spain, as well as across the European Union.

The ceramic sanitary ware manufacturing industry developed positively at the beginning of the last five-year period due to the high level of construction and renovation activity in Germany. The favourable economic situation in these years also had a positive effect on sales for manufacturers of ceramic sanitary ware. Only the increasing import pressure from foreign manufacturers and the tendency of industry players to outsource production to countries with lower manufacturing costs had a negative impact on the industry. The increase in the European base rate, the decline in construction and renovation activity in Germany and rising energy and material prices have put increasing pressure on manufacturers of ceramic sanitary ware and slowed the industry's growth. The industry recorded average annual growth of just 0.4% between 2019 and 2024.A decline in demand from building construction and private household spending on the maintenance and repair of homes is expected for the current year. This is due to the continued high cost of building materials and the low number of building permits, which is also leading to a decline in demand for industry products. Current industry turnover is expected to fall by 3.8% and stabilise at 542.5 million euros.Due to the saturation of domestic markets and the increasing relocation of production to emerging economies such as China, industry turnover is likely to fall by an average of 1.5% per year to 503.1 million euros over the next five years. Domestic manufacturers are increasingly establishing themselves in the premium segment in order to avoid competitive pressure from low-priced imports from abroad. In addition, demand for barrier-free bathrooms has grown in recent years as a result of demographic change and is expected to increase further over the next five years due to rising life expectancy. Profitability in the industry is likely to decline during this period due to comparatively high labour costs in Germany and strong price competition from foreign suppliers.

The manufacturers of metal constructions can look back on a volatile business development over the last five years. At the beginning of the last five-year period, demand for metal constructions increased thanks to the strong domestic economy and the construction boom in Germany. Since 2020, however, the industry has been operating in a difficult market environment with volatile raw material and energy prices as well as supply bottlenecks. This is due to the economic recession that set in after the COVID pandemic and the decline in demand from industry and the construction sector. The rapid rise in global market prices for energy sources and raw materials and the ECB's interest rate hike to combat inflation have further exacerbated the situation within the industry.In the current year, the industry continues to operate in a difficult market environment. The recently gloomy business climate in Germany is likely to recover somewhat in the current year. Demand from the construction industry is likely to remain subdued and only stabilise towards the end of the year. This is also reflected in the development of industry turnover, which is expected to amount to €30.5 billion in 2025, a decline of 0.9% compared to the previous year. Between 2020 and 2025, industry turnover increased at an average rate of 2.3% per year. This is primarily due to the good order situation in 2021 and 2022. In view of the lower order situation, increased competition has recently dampened profit margins.In the coming years, IBISWorld expects the sector to recover. The economy is likely to normalise again in the coming years, particularly in industrial and residential construction, which has slumped sharply since the key interest rate hike in summer 2022. The key interest rate cuts by the ECB since summer 2024 underline this trend. Rising government investment in construction is also likely to stimulate demand from the infrastructure sector, particularly bridge construction. Between 2025 and 2030, IBISWorld therefore expects average annual industry growth of 5%. By 2030, total turnover in the structural metal construction sector is expected to amount to 38.9 billion euros.

Manufacturers of abrasive products have experienced a difficult business period over the past five years. Industry turnover has fallen at an average annual rate of 3.7% during this period. As the sector primarily manufactures consumer goods for industrial and commercial production, the development of the order situation for companies in the sector is very closely linked to the development of sales in the downstream manufacturing industries.At the beginning of the past five-year period, abrasives manufacturers were still benefiting from an increase in both domestic and global industrial production and thus from increased demand from key industries such as automotive and mechanical engineering and the metalworking industry. Over the course of the past five years, however, demand increasingly stagnated, for example from the automotive industry, before the coronavirus pandemic caused an abrupt slump in global industrial production in 2020. Since then, the industry has recovered from this shock, but the weak development of the global economy and global industrial production is slowing the growth of industry sales. IBISWorld expects the turnover of abrasives manufacturers to grow by 0.8% year-on-year to €1.3 billion in 2023.Although demand for high-quality abrasive products is likely to increase further, IBISWorld expects sales for industry players to remain below pre-crisis levels in the coming year. At the same time, abrasives manufacturers, whose profit margins were already declining before the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, are likely to relocate further production capacity abroad, particularly to Eastern Europe, in order to reduce their production costs. IBISWorld therefore anticipates an average increase in industry turnover of 2.7% per year over the next five years. By 2028, abrasives manufacturers are therefore expected to generate a total turnover of 1.5 billion euros.

In the data compilation ´The building industry in the Federal Republik of Germany´ official statistics data on Germany´s construction sector are gathered for 55 years.

759 timeseries on the economic development of the building industry in general, incoming orders (value indices, indices on capacity and index of production), overviews of the yearly census results in the building industry sector by firms and companies, employment, transaction volumes, hours worked, and the construction volume per year are compiled by the author.

European military fighting vehicle manufacturers suffer from intense competition from US manufacturers, representing a considerable proportion of imports. Nonetheless, Germany and France generate a substantial proportion of armoured vehicles under the industry's most significant manufacturer, KMW+NEXTER Defense Systems NV. Manufacturers rely on defence spending across Europe and non-NATO members to boost new order volumes. According to the European Commission, general government expenditure in the EU on defence amounted to 1.3 % of GDP in 2021. However, this figure is rising in response to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, boosting revenue prospects. Over the five years through 2024, industry revenue is forecast to drop at a compound annual rate of 4.7% to €5.4 billion. The COVID-19 outbreak caused revenue to plunge as factories temporarily closed amid lockdown measures, resulting in sub-optimal production levels throughout 2020. Industry revenue failed to fully rebound over 2021 and 2022, mainly because of supply-chain disruption, inflating input prices and restricting output volumes. The Russia-Ukraine conflict also invited a flood of armoured vehicle imports from the US, limiting European manufacturers' potential to capitalise on greater demand. In 2024, industry revenue is forecast to drop by 3.2%, thanks to intense competition from US manufacturers.
Over the five years through 2029, industry revenue is expected to expand at a compound annual rate of 3% to reach €6.2 billion. Increased geopolitical tension, namely the Russia-Ukraine and Israeli conflicts, will boost government spending on defence and armoured military vehicles. In February 2023, the UK government outlined plans to spend £242 billion on defence equipment procurement over the next 10 years, including £17.4 billion on land equipment. A progressive and strategic expansion in the European defence budget and the launch of infantry support projects will boost demand for military vehicles and fuel innovation.

EU motor vehicle production output nosedived amid the outbreak of the coronavirus crisis. In April 2020, the motor vehicle manufacturing industry across the 27 European member states had a volume index of only 19.4 compared with the 2021 baseline of 100. While production volume started to rebound in May 2020, the global automotive semiconductor shortage had led to a slow slump of the volume index through March 2022, and production had been fluctuating again in 2023 and 2024, with Germany's particularly declining. Production slows down amid pandemic lockdown France, Spain, and Germany are among the leading producers of motor vehicles worldwide. The production index decreased in all of these countries and has not fully recovered from the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in Europe in the spring of 2020. The German motor vehicle production index, for instance, has been on the decline since September 2023, due to changes in the automotive industry in the country. The potential of tariffs from the United States in 2025 further suggests 2025 could be a complex year for the European Union's vehicle outout. The European motor vehicle manufacturing industry had around 2.4 million direct employees on the payroll, many of whom were faced with job insecurity from the onset of the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic forced factories to stop production in April 2020. Manufacturing facilities in most vehicle-producing regions have been affected after Europe became the outbreak's epicenter in mid-March. By July, many factories reopened, albeit at reduced capacities. European manufacturing firms rely on state aid to pay furloughed workers and prevent long-term plant closures. Supply chain uncertainties affect restart Production levels began to climb back towards the end of 2020. However, chip shortages and other supply chain uncertainties became the leading cause of concern between December 2020 and February 2022. As a result, Germany's motor vehicle production index dipped to 56.2 in March 2022, with other regional markets following the same pattern. France and Germany, consistently below the European average volume index from December 2023 to February 2025, were the markets with the highest turnover from motor vehicle and trailer manufacturing in the European Union in 2023.

Footwear manufacturers have been confronted with difficult conditions over the past five years. Production stoppages and supply chain difficulties during the coronavirus pandemic caused sales to plummet right from the start. Rising energy and material costs since 2022 and international competitive pressure have recently put additional pressure on the industry, exacerbating price pressure and causing profit margins to fall. In the past five years, industry turnover has nevertheless grown by an average of 2.6% per year. This is mainly due to high inflation and the fact that some of the increased production costs have been successfully passed on. The rising demand for sports shoes and sneakers in the face of increasing sports awareness also had a positive effect on industry growth. In 2025, IBISWorld expects sales to decline by 0.8% to 3.1 billion euros.Germany is the leading nation in the manufacture of safety footwear. Therefore, the number of people in employment and the effective exchange rate as an indicator for the export of industry products is essential for this industry. The number of people in employment is likely to increase, which should have a positive impact on the industry. However, the rising exchange rate is likely to slow down export rates somewhat in the current year. On the other hand, rising consumer spending on shoes and the increasing awareness of sport among the population should have a positive effect on demand for shoes, particularly sports shoes. The footwear manufacturing industry is exposed to strong external competition, primarily due to the high import rate from countries such as China and Vietnam. In view of China's rising gross domestic product, German manufacturers are expected to continue to face strong competitive pressure in the current year.For the period from 2025 to 2030, IBISWorld expects average annual growth of 0.6% and an industry turnover of 3.2 billion euros in 2030. Problems are likely to arise from stricter regulation under the Supply Chain Sustainability Act, which will lead to a more socially and ecologically sustainable production method with higher costs. The shortage of skilled labour, which is reflected in an ageing workforce and a surplus of unfilled apprenticeship positions, is likely to become even more acute over the next five years. Work processes are therefore likely to be gradually automated in future, also with the aim of rationalisation and cost savings.

Bearing and gear manufacturing companies produce various products, including bearings, gearboxes, clutches and transmission shafts. Manufacturers rely on export revenue, leaving them susceptible to input inflation and exchange rate movements. Similarly, the development of the downstream automotive industry plays a central role in dictating the order volume of mechanical drive elements and various bearings. Outside motor vehicle manufacturers, bearings and gearboxes supply industrial equipment manufacturers, including lifting and handling equipment and agricultural machinery manufacturers. Germany comprises the largest share of industry revenue. Over the five years through 2024, industry revenue is expected to dip at a compound annual rate of 4.4% to hit €53 billion. Manufacturers have battled numerous supply-side challenges in recent years, including soaring raw material prices and supply chain bottlenecks, which have weighed on output and restricted revenue growth. Similarly, a turbulent automotive market has limited order volumes, though recovery in 2023 lifted revenue. There is also a growing trend towards adopting Industry 4.0 technologies like automation, IoT and AI, which has led to efficiency gains in the industry. Over 2024, industry revenue is expected to dip by 3.4% as a negative consumer and business climate hits sales. Over the five years through 2029, industry revenue is expected to climb at a compound annual rate of 2.5% to reach €59.8 billion. Manufacturers will continue consolidating to boost their competitiveness and profitability. However, the threat of external acquisition will remain high, particularly from multinational manufacturers based in the US. Similarly, the electric vehicle and railway market will also climb, driving sales of mechanical drive components like transmission and hybrid deep-groove ball bearings. According to IBISWorld estimates, German manufacturers will continue to dominate the market, forecast to generate 65% of industry revenue by 2030, with companies like Schaeffler Group and ZF Friedrichshafen AG leading the way.

Europe’s Porcelain and Ceramic Product Manufacturing industry is home to robust craftsmanship, diverse offerings and a market that prizes high-end, artistic designs. However, the industry has run into some economic challenges, including competition from cheap imports, particularly from low-cost Asian countries. Also, harsh disruptions due to the pandemic and subsequent inflationary pressures, which have constrained output from key markets like the construction and hospitality sectors, have had a knock on effect on porcelain and ceramic product manufacturers’ income opportunities. Revenue is projected to contract at a compound annual rate of 1.1% to €9.1 billion over the five years through 2025. Europe has a strong reputation for high-quality ceramic products. There is growing consumer demand for quality artistic and handcrafted ceramic products that command premium prices, supporting revenue. Nonetheless, manufacturers have faced significant challenges due to rampant inflation, which has cut into their profitability, as well as constrained consumer budgets that have led to decreased sales. In 2022 and 2023, soaring inflation and weak economic conditions have dampened demand for porcelain and ceramic products. Additionally, strong competition from cheap Asian imports and rising production costs, driven by high raw material prices and the ongoing energy crisis, have further squeezed profit. In 2024, inflation began to cool, which resulted in central banks cutting the interest rate, which is supporting economic growth and stimulating output in key industry markets. However, economic uncertainty remains amid ongoing supply chain disruptions and lingering inflationary pressures, which has kept consumer confidence tentative, constraining non-essential spending on ceramic products. In 2025, revenue is forecast to drop by 0.3%. Revenue is forecast to inch upwards at a compound annual rate of 1.7% to €9.9 billion over the five years through 2030. Demand for luxury ceramics and unique designs from European manufacturers will expand, boosting exports and benefitting revenue growth. A return to small-batch and artisan-produced ceramics will support smaller, artisan-focused manufacturers. Implementing technology into manufacturing processes will help revolutionise production, enhancing efficiency and driving productivity. The ceramic industry will focus more on eco-friendly products, water and energy conservation and the use of recycled materials, signifying a shift towards sustainable business practices.
